STARE

I have so much to do...laundry, clean, take a shower, pack for our four day camping trip. Yet all I want to do is STARE. Stare at Dillon while he is sleeping, he precious little face, the way he suckles on his paci in his sleep and then the paci falls out and he is smiling, all the while fast asleep. Stare at Aidan and Coda spinning a marble around and around in laundry basket. (Quietly) Stare at Téadora taking her morning nap, that girl likes to sleep, probably the only thing that resembles me.

Life is so short. They will be grown before I know it. They will never be this small again. So for today I will take a little extra time to just STARE.
