Tired of Waiting. . .



I was supposed to be reading that book to Caleb. I told him to go downstairs and wait for me while I rocked the twins to sleep. I told him I'd be right there. And I was pretty quick. It only took me about ten minutes to rock both babies to sleep. But I suppose I was ten minutes too long cause this is what I found when I returned downstairs with a pile of books to read with Caleb. We read the book later this afternoon, I promise. But I sure felt bad all day, wishing I'd just been ten minutes faster. There's nothing better than snuggling up with that little thumbsucker and reading a few good books. That said, there's nothing better than holding the twins snuggled up on my shoulder and watching their little eyes get droopy as I rock them to sleep. I suppose that's the way life goes. For everything you miss out on, there's something else you are totally blessed to be a part of. And even when you miss out on something good, a second chance almost always finds its way back around to you and you really don't miss out on all that much afterall. We just have to be patient while we're waiting for it. And of course, sometimes it helps to take a nap while you're waiting.

Hey Mark and Shana.... that is such an incredible picture of Caleb. It captures so much... so much.

I love it!

Thanks for coming yesterday. We love you guys.

 

What a precious picture. It's sweet that he would just sit there so quietly and wait for you to come.

You should do a "Day in the Life" book for each of your boys. You're such a good photographer and if you took a day and just focused on one boy, what awesome pictures you would surely get to document a typical day. You can work six special "Day in the LIfe" days into your schedule, can't you? :)
