A kiss...

It's raining outside, Abigail is napping, and I am snuggled under a blanket feeling very peaceful and grateful. I am truly blessed and in awe of how wonderful it is to have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful husband to share this life with.
Let me share a few things with you....

Abigail and I went to Dallas last week with Jerry for a 3 day conference. It was great to be able to spend time with him. Abigail and I stayed at the hotel most of the time while he worked but we had a great time playing together. We got to meet all of Jerry's coworkers. You could tell that he had been talking about his sweet little girl because everyone was very welcoming and attentive to her. Of course she loved it!
I was also invited to do a talk about the Anatomy of the Heart for one of AHAs sessions. It was great to teach again! Don't get me wrong..I love my Mommy job and wouldn't change it for the world but it did feel good to talk about another one of my passions....the heart. :)
We got home on Friday just in time to settle in and get ready to watch the Aggies play LSU in the Cotton Bowl. The game didn't turn out very well but it was nice to be home and all together with the puppies too. I sure miss them when we are gone.

So...the title to my post...A kiss....
There is nothing better in the world than a kiss from your little girl. It is amazing and it lights up my heart and fills me with joy every time she leans in for a kiss. Most of the time it is asked of her but on a rare occasion she will lean in and give her momma a kiss. Words can't describe how amazing that is.
Another amazing thing to see is...when she snuggles and kisses her Daddy. His whole body softens and he closes his eyes and gives her a huge hug and kiss. We say "I Love You" a lot around here and it is because we do love each other and we want Abigail to know how much we love her.
God has given us this amazing little girl and we are forever grateful for her. HE is worthy to be praised.

My 2 cents:
Never be afraid to tell someone "I love you".
Never be afraid to lean in and give someone a kiss and a hug.

****That is all for now...May God bless you all.
Love,
Jenny
