"Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth." Hugh Macmillan

rock-a-bye baby
Some weekdays, Maddox still takes a nap in the afternoon while Ash is at school. I love the days that he does. Not only because the house is quiet if even only for a half hour and not only because I can actually watch a show on TV or read a few chapters in my book uninterrupted but also because when he's sleeping Maddox still looks like a baby. I imagine myself looking at him sound asleep in his crib, his pouty lips so still and his hands curled into little fists. Oh and his blanky! He still CAN'T sleep without his blanky! I hope he secretly carries it with him to college someday! I refuse to let him grow up...

And I remember when you brought Brandon home for the first time to meet us ... my first thought was "So this is my replacement". It's hard to let go....
