Here We Come

We leave for Eastern Europe tomorrow. We return to Tata’s home village with our children. It will be amazing for those expecting us & us arriving. There is much to do, but so look forward to the absence of technology & just being with one another. God you are so good.

My Little Man

I have an amazing image of Luka sleeping. The image is in my head. He likes to go to his "tree house" at night. Lately he shows up in Tata & Mama's room in the early am hours. Just the other morning he came to me, crawled in bed, & went back to sleep. I, on the other hand, worry about him falling out of the bed (very high). So I slipped out onto the chair next to the bed to watch over them.

I watched him as he & his sister slept. He was facing me on his side with both hands in the prayer position under his handsome face. I will hold that moment forever. In hindsight I wish I'd gotten my camera. Yet, with or without the camera, that moment is etched in my mind forever. I love you, little man. You have the most amazing smile ever.

Our Beauty

Why do they grow so fast? You hear it. You don't necessarily understand it. And then you have a baby of your own & you know it. Even on the hardest of days, they grow. They surprise. They teach. Yes, this is our "little" girl. No, she's not sleeping in her bed. She starts there but finds her way to our bed at night. Very talented given I'm a light sleeper. Love you, sweet baby.
