how blessed am i? i fell in love with an amazing man who has an amazing family
AND along with
that comes three magical red heads?! whoa. bisti = one lucky girl.
waking up to smell the roses. or lilies, or weeds, or whatever may be in your yard. i’m happy! i’m thrilled to be alive! i find myself looking around me and valuing the colors of my world. in my pictures, on my feet, on the walls at my home. or the colors that i can see streaming through my children’s imaginations. i long to hold them again… ella fell asleep in my arms last thursday and although we had visitors and although her mother was going to arrive shortly to pick her up, i just continued to rock her and hold her and let her drift off to dreamland… at 7 o’clock. i cherished that moment. i can still feel her heavy, sweaty head resting in my elbow… her heavy breathing making me tired.
i helped chloe and ella get ready one saturday morning not too long ago as we headed to lily’s baseball practice. i got them dressed very creatively so they could remain submerged in as much of the blankies as possible as it was early and they were chilly. chloe grabbed my shoulder to steady herself as her left foot slipped into her pants and said ‘i love it when you get me dressed. you always pick out such cute stuff and help me’.
filled my heart cup so full- not that it was really in need of filling, but i’m so okay with it over-flowing.
we have the babies this weekend and next… we went two weekends without them earlier in the month, so we now have them two weekends in a row. lily’s birthday is on easter this year… how exciting. we picked out their dresses and i can’t wait to give them to the girls.
quick post on this tuesday morning. remembering my blessings.
