I wonder if my girls will ever know that sometimes after I drop them off at school or at the bus stop I wait there for a couple of minutes and marvel in my love for them as I watch them on the playground or driving off on the bus.
Who knows maybe they will read what I wrote someday and will totally understand why I do what I do because they will be doing the same things..but hopefully better.
I love that fullness in the heart kind of feeling...
and when I don't have to work hard to have those feelings..
because lets face it, sometimes those sort of feelings take work..
A LOT of work...if you know what I mean.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
I too know exacty what you mean! There is something about seeing them walk away with their cute little backpack on. Time goes too fast!
love that feeling. I was just staring at one of Wyatt's little photos yesterday in awe of my love for him! Have a great weekend....Julie
Love this! As a mother of two brilliant, gorgeous adult children I totally get it! When my now 29 year old son went to kindergarten for the first time, I came home, sat on the porch swing and wrote a poem about letting go.
So sweet!
So lovely -- children elicit such complex, overpowering feelings.

Your mornings sound so similar to ours in many many ways!:)
Your family is so cute! I shared your blog with a friend who loves interior design but the first thing that caught her eye was that ADORABLE new family photo.
