one of my FAVORITE things

So, yesterday was a very, very, very busy day for me at work. I had a very early meeting and a late dinner I had to go to for work after work. That means very little time at home and not a lot of time with my kiddos. So, after a quick hugs and such before I left for dinner (down in LaJolla) I went. When I got home it was fairly late. I went and checked on everyone and went into Reilly's room. The best thing about her is her baby-ness. I don't know if that is a word, but that is all I can think of to explain it. To sit down, nurse her and hold her warm sleepy body to mine. Have her hand curl around my finger and push it against my heart. And, once she was full, the little burb, squrim and sigh with her head on my shoulder nestled into me. I swear I could stay like that for hours. That memory is one etched on my mind that has happened with all of our amazing children. Larry smiled when he found me and told me to come to bed (lots of late and early days around here lately) and he knew I was exhausted. I hugged her tight, kissed her sweet face and snuggled her back into her crib. I said thank you for all the amazing blessings I have been given and went to sleep. - I love being a mom. Reilly smiling in the ice plant. The kids let me play with my new lens this weekend. Is this not a great smile?
