It's Just the Little Stuff

When Audge makes a joke about me and looks at mom--eyes twinkling, grinning to her ears--for confirmation that it was, indeed, a good one.

When we're all sitting at the table eating dinner and Will states, quite matter of factly, "It's so cool that God gave me a low voice."

When--after Ty, Kelsey and I were attacked by bees--I ran yelling into the water and suddenly collapsed because of my sprained ankle, Carrie came to my rescue saying, "We will RE-distribute your pack!"

When Will--who spent his whole day working like a beast on our tree fort the whole day, never stopping--hits his thumb with a hammer and spends the next forty-five minutes walking around the base of the tree saying, "Ooh. hey guys? Guys, I think I gotta go back. Does somebody want to come back with me? Hey guys, my thumb really hurts. Will someone come to the house with me, so I can pour cold water over this?"

When Audrey--who had just drank about 36 ounces of Dr Pepper--says she "doesn't have to go to the bathroom" during a rest stop on a long road trip and Carrie madly orders Jeremy, who is cleaning the garbage out of the car, to, "Keep that cup. Cuz Audrey's gonna have to pee in it."

When Tyler sits on the couch in his living room, looking dazedly off through the window, while trying to keep up a conversation, and says, "Yeah... You know, it's just good times, and... you know, it's just good livin'"

Ahhh... Those are the moments.
