"Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things,
to fear nothing but the loss of you and to cast all our care on you who cares for us: Preserve me from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from me the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever."

I love the smell of clean sheets too! (and my "baby" that smells clean is now 3, time flies!)
I have two boys and so enjoyed your list. Life with boys is a whole other world:)
Thanks for sharing!
Your list is wonderful. Filled with memories and all those little things in life that is so easily forgotten in the big picture. I really need to get into the groove and do this myself.
I REALLY liked 447 -- slobber on the glass doors. Something I relate to all too well!!!! So glad I stopped by! I leave with a smile and I'm blessed!
