I'll only be a moment as too much is waiting. I am overcome with the weight of my blessings, tears coming unbidden as I putter. Folding, cleaning, swinging and cuddling. I check on the girls in the night and their tangled bedclothes and knobby knees make my heart ache. Fin sleeping, arms folded behind her head and legs crossed, steals my breath. Sean's hand reaches for mine as we sit quietly after bedtime. The creaks of our house and the rhythm of our life fills me with a glow of being at peace.
Wishing you the golden embrace of contentment.

Sleep is so sweet. It is hard not to hold them
Contented sigh.
Cool photo too.

Beautiful. I love this one:) Just last night I woke John up to show him how cute Elle looked sleeping in her bassinette. She had her arms crossed over her face and cutey chubby legs all scrunched up into her belly. We just stared in awe at this little family we seem to all of a sudden have created.
Perfect. That's exatcly how I feel too.
A magical picture and a magical life!
like everyone else.... sigh
Lovely. It's so important to stop and take a breath now and then.
