New set of eyes...

Me and Moi have always been the couple that was on the go. We always had plans. Constantly going somewhere and everywhere. The road was open to us and we let it take us. Something was always happening in me and Moi's life. We hated just "being." But through all that we never saw things fully. We just went about life, not really knowing what we were missing. 


And now having Eli we see everything through a new set of eyes. A set of eyes that are so much more clearer. We appreciate the little things. We take time to actually see things; whereas before we'd always be rushing through things. Today while we were at the Birch Aquarium we took time to go to every single aquarium and went through every fish that was in the aquarium telling Eli all about them. The more fasinated he was with them, the more time we took at each one. It's so crazy how I've been there many times before and never really "appreciated" it. It was so amazing to see Eli so into the fish, especially the really bright ones. 

Isn't is amazing how before, life just wasn't remembered. Today I will remember Eli's face as he looked so wide eyed at the fish. How he tried touching the fishies through the glass. How innocent he was thinking he could actually touch them. These memories with Elijah really let me see everything in a new light. Even just taking stupid, goofy pictures in the photo booth was fun. Before Moi and I never did those, thinking heck we can use that five bucks for food, but to be honest it wasn't a question. We saw it and both knew we had to do it. I love how a child can bring the best of you out. And Eli has done that. With Moi and me. Our world is so much brighter, so much clearer. Overall, so much more meaningful.
