With soap up to my elbows, I stared out my window as a brutally fierce gust of wind ripped the last of my beloved birch leaves far from my window's view.
I paused and was still and appreciated what was happening all around me:
Justin was reading at the table while not-so-silently slurping his chicken noodle soup.
Evan quietly played on the family room floor, arranging army men in an elaborate battle of Good and Evil.
Corinne had constructed a massive fort of blankets and pillows over the heating vent so that she could read with toasty warm feet.
Patrick had called; he was on his way home. We were all... happy.
Content.
Healthy.
Alive.
Whole.
Quite simply, my blessings cause my heart to seize and throat to close and eyes to tear.
I love my family.I love my life.

I feel the same way. Very blessed you are indeed!
Yup. You got o good family goin' there, Kid.
And I love that you share it with us!
You know ... I have no idea how that happened, because 'a' is completely on the other side of the keyboard from 'o' - and yet 'o' managed to insert itself in the place of 'a' and even dyslexic fingers can't account for the rather ungrammatic presence of 'o' in place of 'a' in the comment above.
I have no idea.
One of the sweetest sibling pictures ever!
Looks like you made it!

Just like this post.
I love that picture.
Loved reading this. Beautifully expressed. I have a few of those sleeping sibling pics too - so sweet.
Beautiful, I can almost feel the peace.
Your younger two could be twins :-)
Really sweet pictures!
