It is that time of year. The sun comes up so very early. Here in the desert, the house is usually bright with morning by 6am.

I’m greeted each morning by requests to braid hair, a cry to change a wet diaper and hysterically searching for shoes.

I’m waking up with a new person in the house.

It’s amazing how quickly a little stranger can become part of everyday.

Little guy is just part of life now… in the absolute best way. We just passed one month of him sleeping here – in our home.

He takes a bath in our bathtub. He sleeps on our pillows. They have now become his.

What is “ours” is becoming “his”. Beautiful.

He helps me take Nate to school in the morning and then he and I just hang out together – running errands, eating lunch, naptime  and waiting for the kids to get home from school.

I am treasuring these days. They are blessed.
