Quiet Mornings

I like it best when we don't have anywhere we have to go...
When the house is still and one by one I hear the girls waking up.
 Someone (probably Jane) maybe sleeps in a while...
We don't start chores or make breakfast.
We just talk some and play a little and wait for the day to get us going.
Malan told me how sometimes she wakes up thinking about all the best days she's had and all
her favorite memories and how it makes her feel happy and a little sad at the same time.
Quiet mornings make me feel that way, too.

Very sweet. And weekends are even sweeter once school has started.

I like those days the best. You won't believe my verword! "Weemotto." Seriously. What should it be? "Wait for the day to get you going." ? Miss you and your cuties.

You are such a sweet mommy. I wish I could see your photos. For some reason I can no longer view photobucket pictures... but I'm sure they're lovely. :)

Oh wow! What a peaceful post... I may have read it in a whisper... Lovely, Kate.

I love Sunday mornings at our house. I love pillow talk and the calm of the day. Mornings are my favorite part of the day and it's delightful to see you and your ladies enjoying it to the fullest.

With love,

I am so with you! I love, love, love quiet mornings. Being a mom is super great. It really is. I wish it could always stay this way.

If only my girls could be quiet in the mornings! But waking up to baby smiles is the best. Love that photo of Emme in her cot.
