- How Faith gives me a hug by putting her palms on either side of my head and laying on my face
- Watching Luke watch an intense scene (the winter Olympic games, a climactic scene in a Disney movie, watching a kid misbehaving and about to get in trouble) with his hands over his eyes, and...
- Hearing his audible sigh/exclamation of relief when it's over
- Watching Faith give unsolicited hugs to the boys
- Going to see the boys "king houses" that they build by piling tons of pillows on top of the couch and sitting at the very top
- How Faith grunts/chuckles when she figures something out
- How Silas describes little things as "tinsy" (with a long "i" sound - cross between tiny and teensy)
- How Faith calls monkeys "moneys"
- How Luke waits to open goody bags from birthday parties until he gets home (he is the king of delayed gratification)
- How Faith will squirm up into my lap without me even noticing, just like Silas used to do
- How Silas looks at me and smiles when Beau says something funny
- How Faith tries to wink and ends up scrunching her face and closing both of her eyes
- Luke's love of anything and everything camouflage
- Faith's love of tea - hot or cold (yes, I'll admit I've put both in her sippy cup)
- How Silas absentmindedly pats Faith's back or leg when she sidles up next to him
- Faith's nonstop "talking" and reading books with tons of inflection, even if no one can understand a word of what she says
- How Faith "helps" me take the clothes out of the dryer and identifies the people that wear them as she picks them out (t-shirt - "Daddy!", shorts - "Siyas!")
- How when Faith gets tired, she wanders around the house with her hands over her eyes

What sweet reflections--when I see my kids doing/saying something I want to remember forever, I always think about Mary "hiding these things in her heart." Too bad she didn't have a blog. :) Mine helps me remember a lot.
