Changes

My little babies are not so little babies any more. They slept in their own beds for the first time last night.. all by themselves they got all snuggled in and fell to sleep. My bed full of children was reduced to just me and the little guy. It felt vast and lonely. My little babies now are young children with thoughts, opinions , and ideas all their own.

Right now my house is full of sounds of a young family ready for sleep. Daddy is reading them a story, both of them a chirping and asking questions about this and that. I am getting a moment to myself while Frederick is squealing for my attention as he is fed and changed and now just wants me to sit and grin at him... But I just wanted to capture this moment so badly.. so desperately soon and quick.. because it will be gone in the rush and hurry of another Monday..

So here I am.. Kevin gave me a few more minutes by winding up the owl mobile he loves so much.. or shall I say seconds.. and I just am so happy it literally makes me cry..

Clothes are piled up, dishes aren't done, my house is a wreck.. but we got all the mums planted, and maybe next weekend a tree with lights and it will be finally Christmas in the house..

Much love,

Elizabeth
