So true Stephanie. We went to Lake Powell this weekend with 2 other families. I had to share a bed with my youngest son. Which for the record, does not like to sleep anywhere other than his bed, by himself. Anyway, it was kind of a challenge to get him to sleep but after he drifted off, it was so sweet to hear his little breath and feel his little hands on my hands. It was pure joy. Today, back to reality: we came home and he ran to his room and yelled “My Bed!”

Your post reminds me of a scrapbook page I made long ago titled, “It’s the little thing that take up the most space in your heart.” And it couldn’t be more true now could it.

What beautiful photos Stephanie. Definitely keepers.

Okay, so I read this yesterday after having woken up 3x in the night with Sam and the 3rd time (2am) he would not go back to sleep and nothing was meeting his needs. With hubby gone, I was starting to pull my hair out. At 3am we went and sat out side for a little bit, that got him quiet, then I took him to bed with me, back to fussing. After nearly 3 hours of being awake when I should have been sleeping, and lets throw in a splitting headach, my mind could not have been any further in thinking about how this is the most important thing in my life. It was more like “Please Lord, make him go to sleep so I don’t kill him.” All that being said, I got a full nights sleep last night. In bed this morning, with Sam snuggling tight to me, as we were both drifting back to sleep, I remembered the blog and could better relate. One day at a time.

Your pictures are AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you so much for reminding me about the moments in life that can pass by so quickly and unnoticed if I don’t, for just one second, take a deep breath and cherish them.

Its amazing how a momment that most would see as annoying (being woken up at 5:15) can become one of our most charished times! Last night P wouldn’t go to sleep and I will admit I was frustrated, but after a few momments of him curled up against me, playing with my hand, I realized that I don’t know how much longer he will want to cuddle with me before he is too much of a big boy, and I found myself wanting to hold him forever!
