It's the Little Things




Chris has been in China now for over a month and everyone is missing him horribly.  Overall, we are all doing great, but we find that we need to look for little things to bring some extra happiness into our lives that we would normally get just by seeing Dad walk in the door at the end of the day.  Some of the little things that have helped have been having Grandma come stay for a couple of the weekends, a trip to Taco Bell to experience it for the first time (Chris doesn't like Taco Bell so we've never been before), painting Valentine's T-shirts, Frostys and dinner at Wendy's to celebrate filling the piano treat jar, and a shopping trip at Walmart to buy toys with Christmas gift cards from Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah.  While at Walmart, we also browsed through the clearance racks and found these adorable T-shirts for $3 or less.  The girls love their cute shirts so much, I can barely get them to take them off to be washed.  Sometimes it really is the little things that keep us going.
