A Bit More..........

and what of this tiny firecracker of joyful boy? These past few mornings, with Daddy's schedule reflecting a summer change, I have been able to slip away some mornings for my long walks. I love, need and relish those walks......they help to center and calm me ~ make me a better Mama, wife, friend and neighbor. But towards the end of each journey, despite being fatigued from the miles, my pace gets a bit brisker and I click the Ipod off. Someone awaits me, a darling face pressed against the sliding glass doors ~ fingers waving, giggles ringing out through the open window, dimples flashing......."Mama - home!!" he cries out with glee and as I dash through the open door, my walk already forgotten, chubby arms encircle my legs......up he goes into my waiting arms and oh yes....... I. Am. Home. and so very blessed...........

Little man sees & celebrates all the little things, without losing sight of the big ones. From tiny bugs & blooms to airplanes bursting through the sky. So busy these days, its a wonder he'll sit for a moment to let Mama take a quick pic. But click away I do, just don't be surprised if he's not always looking and if Mama blurs the shot when he darts off or dashes head first for a big bear hug! And I don't mind one tiny bit!
