if mornings are heaven, weekends are even more so...
during the week, if i am lucky, i will wake up at just the right time- the few moments right after my mom has left for work, and before either of the girls have awoke.
in this time, i just breathe...
plain and simple.
in and out i let my breath fill and retreat from my lungs, i enjoy my cup of coffee, and i just sit there, without even one single thought on my mind but how good it is to sit in the peace and quiet.
and even greater of a blessing, is when adora will rise, and call for ME of all people, and be happy to see me come to get her, and we will chat and cuddle, her with her 'ba ba' and me with my 'joe', and maybe play a little baby einstein video, and all is right as rain.
and then Cloe will rise and want her 'milkies', which i so cheerfully give, and adora will munch on cereal, till i am ready to make us some eggs and chloe to play in her thingamabob which i have yet to discover the name of...(where the baby sits in this round-a-bout thing and plays with little gadgets all around and practices standing and all that fun stuff)
and then, when daddy's ready to get up, i set into gear and get ready for work; pick out some clothes, maybe shower, make my lunch, do my hair (just kidding) and then off i go...
but best yet,
is the day like no other.
Saturday.
when i have no reason whatsoever to wake up even a minute sooner than either of my munchkins, and i have absolutely nothing to get ready for or do, save the wonderful times we do get to go to gram and grampa gill's, which is quite delightful most of the time, and i only wish we went more often...
but ah...
yes
saturdays are gold...
friday nights are gold, cuz i'm not kicking myself every ten minutes to get my but into bed, but actually allow myself to enjoy every single second of it.
and saturdays i awake as if awaking to freedom.

Beautiful! I love mornings too and even though I sometimes have to experience them earlier than I may want because of my wee girl, I enjoy sitting on the balcony with a cup o' tea and watching the world waken to the new day.
it's called an exersaucer
Hey, i miss you. I hope we get to live in the same town again, we are extremely nervous about where we are gonna park the bus in arcata, i don't want to have to move every few days, we need a spot to just be ya know! settle for a bit. We'll see what God has for us I suppose. I really like salt lake..they have a good public trans. and they wish they were san fran, so that shows in how they do things. I don't have a # for you, so send me one so I can call you some time, k. The bus is at the shop now, I hope to God that they fix it today. We need to get going. love you, byebye ~sheri
Ahh, Renee. Your delight in the big and small things is good good good. I think about your family all the time and miss you all heaps.
Me too! Every morning I try to hurry and get out of bed at least a few minutes before Geneva wakes up so I can eat some breakfast, read a little Bible, and just have a minute to myself in the quiet! The day does not seem to go so well when it starts out any other way.
oh, i love saturdays so much, too. we just sleep in and wake up slowly, usually make a pancake breakfast, and sometimes megs doesn't leave the cabin all day
that was nice to hear of your morning routine--very swet
luv you guys
