kids+gum=bliss

Give your kids a package of gum right before church.  Then snap a picture.  I bet they won't react exactly like mine did.  But I bet that pure bliss will be captured in some form.

That little one on the right.  He becomes extremely  pleased by the smallest and funniest little thing.  You'll know this has happened when you hear his chuckle.  His laugh is unforgettable and endearing.  It sounds like low falling stars mixed on high speed like "The Chipmunks" and it comes straight from his gut.  He laughs so hard sometimes that I have to check on him to make sure that he is alright.  And once he starts, it's just too easy to keep it going.  Sometimes he laughs so intensely that it makes my stomach hurt just to watch him.  I think that I just need to remind myself what a sweet little man he is because lately he gives me a run for my money.
