Make me smile...

--Yuki bringing by peanut-butter cookies as she picks up a big bag of our clothes that our kids have outgrown
--My students saying to me during my office hours that "You are a way better teacher than the one we had last quarter for World History"
--Tasting a yellow watermelon for the first time and finding that it's crisper and sweeter than the red (and so worth the $5 we paid for it at the Farmer's Market)
--Watching Ellycat attack the pile of washcloths that I so neatly folded
--Kissing each of the kiddoes on the temple and giving them a big hug on Sunday evening, after we'd returned from The Museum of Tolerance. Feeling overwhelming gratitude for yet another day of life with them
