dear pratt.

dear pratt,

sometimes, quite randomly, you will lean over and rub my arm with your hand. or maybe my face. you even twist my hair around your fingers when i'm holding you. we could be at the grocery store. or at home. it doesn't matter really. it's more of just something you do. without thinking about it, i'm sure.

the other day when we were on the lake with jill, you reached over and held my hand. interlocked your fingers in mine and sat as close to me as you could.

you don't know it now, but something happens when you show those random acts of kindness. a piece of my heart truly explodes. and i feel like all is right with the world. i'm no longer worried about the kitchen. or the laundry. or if we have anything thawed for dinner.

and unlike any other time in my life, i wish we had a flux capacitor. so that i could stop time. and just sit there with you. in that moment.

and btw, i'm not sure what a flux capacitor is. i know it's from a great movie that dad will show you one day, but it's such a fancy name...i'm sure it could and would stop time if only i asked the doc.

anyway...i just wanted to say thank you. i've needed your love more than ever before these past few days. and it's like you knew that. so thank you. thank you so much little guy.

i love you, mommy.

Awww...precious.

I love your cheetos story. Seriously! I think Brylee did get it from you. She could have eaten the whole bag in the state she was in!

you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - dr. seuss

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
