in a small blissful moment

a few minutes ago i was consumed with the logistics of being tired all day, almost asleep at 9pm, and still awake (wide, might i add) at 12:30am.

then i looked around. sleeping so soundly next to me is my most wonderful husby. and i wanted to whisper into his dreams, 'you are beyond compare.' it is all i can do at this very moment to not wrap my arms around him so tightly and kiss his cheek. (sigh)

and at ben's feet is tiggy who is being SUCH an adoraboy :) fast asleep, gray, and as chubby as ever. and beyond him, sleeping by the window is my sweet sammy boy. in this moment we are all so peaceful here, together. i wouldn't be surprised if i looked up and the roof was pealed back and i could see all of the stars.

it is occuring to me that i can deal with the foggy grind of any particular workday because this is what is waiting for me. my family. our home. the sounds we each make as we travel through our dreams...
