That Moment In Between

Five Minute Friday is where gather with my sweet friends

to write our hearts on a page for 5 minutes prompted
by the friend who encourages us to write bravely - Lisa-Jo.

I love this community more than words can express. 
They are my people.

Today is about IN BETWEEN.

I have spent all day wrapped up in our beautiful boys. Waking up early to start laundry and clean before they even roll out of bed. Watching them lumber into the living room much later with sleepy yawns and the "morning mom"s mumbled as they reach out for hugs without even thinking. Our day is filled with pool time or video games or grocery runs, but always with lots of talking and laughing. And so many times during the day I see you in our boys. In the way they smile. In something they say. In their laughs. In the way they hug as they pass me throughout the day. I so love this time with them. And I hold each moment close. Knowing how precious each one is. Counting. Thanking. Can I thank Him enough?

Then you are home. The door opens and we all seem to gravitate to welcome you. Everyone all talking at once. It's that moment in between where I actually catch myself switching from momma mode to wife mode. And before anything else, our eyes meet and my heart still skips a beat...every time. We kiss our hellos, you put your hands on my waist pulling me close,  and we make that connection again. We get back into the rhythm as your greet the boys and listen to their stories from the day sometimes with them speaking all at the same time. You look at me over their heads and give me a wink with a promise for later.

And I think...this.
I am thankful for this.

What are you thankful for today?

Blessings,
