The big defrost

Yesterday was 47 degrees and today we're supposed to hit a high of 51! That's practically shorts weather compared to the deep-freeze we've been in for the past several weeks. But the things that are really melting my heart lately include:

* When I dropped the girls off at the gym's babysitting center yesterday, I looked back to see Peanut walking with her arm around Loaf's shoulder.

* While taking Peanut to pick up a pizza last night she says to me, "Mommy you are my most special best friend."

* Loaf standing at the edge of her crib this morning calling, "Mama," over and over again until I went in.

Where was all this warm-my-heart sweetness when it was 10 degrees?
