Life is messy and hard and busy and extremely stressful... at least mine is, anyway. But once in a while, I find myself living a perfect moment... one that I wish I could bottle up and save to re-live when life is not so perfect.
I had one of those perfect moments a few months ago. I was holding Aleta, and she was at the age where she had recently started smiling. As I held her, she was just staring at me and giving me the most beautiful little baby smile, and I started crying (happy tears). It probably sounds silly (at least to anyone who isn't a mother), but I could see in those beautiful little eyes how much she loved me. I felt adored, and at that moment, everything else in life seemed completely insignificant.
Tonight, I had another perfect moment. Jacob & I were putting Naomi to bed, and for some reason she was really wired and hyper (but also in a really good, happy mood). So Jacob and I climbed into bed with Naomi to try to get her to calm down and get sleepy. Naomi was laying between us, leaning her head on mine, and I had my arm over her so that I could hold Jacob's hand. I felt calm and so incredibly happy, just laying there with two of my favorite people in the world.
I love my little family so much! :)
