Simple things that make me happy

I was talking with Nicole on the phone last night about being home late because of work obligations (she graciously accepted this) and then she started laughing. I asked her what she was laughing at- it was our blog. She was reading through the Sunday night postings.

I have always said there are two things in this world that can always make me feel right as rain: the first is hearing Nicole laugh. I love to hear her laugh. There is something about her laugh that just makes me smile, inside and out. And to hear her laughing at something I did (because the thought it to be funny) really made my day.

The other thing is hearing Eliana laugh- that is my newest favorite sound. I just cant get enough. Last night we were playing with the exercise ball and I was pounding on it like a boxer does with a speed bag. She just had her hands resting on the ball. As the bouncing got faster and faster her hands bounced around the ball like one of those football players from the old vibrating game of our previous generation. She laughed and laughed until my arms grew too tired to continue and I would start to loose the rhythm and slow down. Then she would smile and start hitting the ball with her own hands, wanting me to do more. Neeless to say, my arms are quite sore!

Love, Laugh (a lot!) and Live!
