come on up.
i'm constantly told that my hands are full.
and i really have started replying to everyone by saying,
yep. full hands, full heart...right?!
and i mean it.
my lap?
it's usually full too.
and even though mama was just trying to get a little sun...
i welcomed each of the kiddos up when they found their way over.
i'm so thankful that even our 6 year old,
with her long legs,
will climb up and cuddle in close.
i'll never get these moments back
and i'm so, so thankful for a full lap....
and hands....
and heart.

ReplyDeleteI just love your posts;I appreciate their simplicity. I haven't posted in SOOO long, and I guess it's because I think it's supposed to be long and involved.

ReplyDelete(I know I say that a lot here, but words can not express how happy and glad my heart is to see you and your lovely family here)
What an amazingly beautiful story and beautiful blog! Julie from Joy's Hope was right! I just became a follower and I can't wait to read more about your wonderful family and journey.
ReplyDeleteOh and btw I just have to say I am a Kindergarten teacher and I had a little girl in my class named Love and I have said many times, 'she is not just the nicest, sweetest kid I know she is the nicest, sweetest person I know', now I know it must be in the name...
Nina
Amen. We will never get these moments back. My ten year old is not into snuggling lately... I cry because I miss it.
ReplyDeleteI'll never understand why people seem to say something about your hands being full as though it were a bad thing!
