August 19

This little boy cracks me up sometimes.

After an evening shopping trip, he was eager to help unload the car. With few lightweight items available, I gave him this big package of ground beef to carry. As he huffed and puffed his way from the street, up the sidewalk and to the front door, he gave a running dialog.

I'm so strong! I'm getting really, really strong!

I turned around and looked at Adam, and we shared a smile over our little guy's determination, work ethic, and overall adorable quotient.

Sometimes, a single, smile-worthy moment can make an otherwise unremarkable day feel utterly worthwhile and special.
