Our first sunrise before 10 am in quite a while.
On our way to make a surprise visit to Grammy and Papa, my seester and lots of folks along the way. We’ve been going nonstop since.

Finding joy in a tidy work shirt drawer. It’s the simple things you know.

Konmari style.

One too many UN joyful moments this past week. Like insurance deductibles and such.
But in the midst Lil Bit lost her second front tooth. She is getting so big.

Her joy over losing another tooth is obvious.

I delight in teaching my kids. This doesn’t mean it is easy or all roses all the time. But watching them learn and grasp new concepts is just… Pure joy.

One of Lil Bit’s masterpieces.

He loves his big bear and wagon. He’s full bore all the time too.

Painted my hood this morning with beautiful feathery filigree. The photo doesn’t do it justice. Finding joy in the little things.

A hot cup of coffee on a cold winter morning is a joyous thing. Especially in this cup, from a friend.

A new calendar year! I’m not much into resolutions but there’s always room for improvement. I’m going for more joy in our lives. Mostly that means finding the joy in everyday mundane things. Each day I plan to post a picture of something that brings me joy.

I’ll start off with my munchkins. Although sometimes they make me crazy, these little people bring me great joy.
I hope your 2016 is full if joy!
