most days in our home are loud. like at this very moment, i hear a battle erupting in the kitchen. be right back.
okay, today is one of those every-second-packed-with-noise days.
but sometimes there are waking moments when my all of my littles are quiet. last week i was gifted one such afternoon. an unexpected calm settled over these rooms. and i was granted new mama eyes. a chance to see without distraction.
like her face - that tongue! - in concentration.

i expected the spell to break once the goo joined the mix after nap.
except it didn't.
what a gift to just sit and stare. those feet!

please, may i always remember to drink in these babes.

sidenote, i am posting this oh so late, because today was pretty much the exact opposite of this post. too much bickering, complaining, and slamming of doors. and i did not set an example of grace and patience by any means. ugh. i am ending this night with a contrite heart and a prayer for new mercies in the morning. perhaps you had such a day as well? let us pray it together then.
xoxo,
