- Running an errand and being gone for less than 30 minutes then coming back to kids running down the driveway to greet you, smiling, waving, and saying "Mommy, I really love you!"
- Watching the kids playing harmoniously - Jack winding Jane up on the tree swing, Janie giggling as she spins around, then plopping on the ground with her big brother helping her back up.
- Having your 3-year old tell you that you make really good dinners.
- Watching your 2-year old and 3-year old say Grace all by themselves before lunch.
