Going to Miss This

When I started this project it was because I wanted to cherish and document those moments that my boys grow out of.

This was taken this morning.

My youngest does not get up and snuggle in my lap anymore.

He goes and quietly plays with legos.

I am so glad I took a moment to appreciate those early morning snuggles with my boy.

This quiet lego play will not be there forever.

I will not hear doors opening and closing over and over again.

Silence is not always golden.

I will miss my little early morning noise maker.

Birthday Cake!

I have a seven year old!

I want to cherish every day with this amazing boy!

My husband got back from a business trip on Saturday.

He was gone 6 weeks.

We have not been apart that long since we married.

I thought not having a break from parenting the boys would be the thing that bothered me.

It was not.

I missed someone telling me to go to bed(I am a night owl).

I missed my sounding board.

Arms.

Someone being there to tell me if I am getting off track.

Someone to care what I looked like.

In short, I missed my best friend.

Marriage is a million little things.

I noticed all of them in the vacancy that was left behind.

Look for the little things that make your marriage beautiful.

Not an epic love story on the big screen but a messed up blanket, shoes by the door, and a kiss good morning.

Those things are precious and make life sweeter.
