Sleepy Kisses

I hear you stumble out of bed 

Little feet toddle across the living room floor

It's still too early....still too dark

But I knew what you were looking to do

In a child's mind, in this big 'ol World

Mama and Papa's bed feels safe.....

Your sweet little hand reaches the door

And with a whooossh you push it open

A tired sigh escapes my lips, I wipe my groggy eyes

With your blanket slung over your shoulder

And arms reaching out, wanting and waiting

You beckon to me to pick you up

I crack a grin and give a soft chuckle

My open arms happily gobble you whole

I tuck you perfectly into your little nook

That space between your Papa and I

Sleepy kisses and sleepy hugs

All eyes are closed once again

It's times like these I choke back a tear and I think to myself.....

I simply could not love you more


With love,
Mama Hauck

Brusha Brusha Brusha!

My little gal looks so sweet brushing her teeth, Every morning Molly helps me "get ready" by handing me q-tips and my brush, among other things. Then she'll sit on the floor and try to brush her hair and ask to sit on the counter to brush her teeth. What a doll!

With love,

Some Thoughts

*Exactly one month until the kiddos and I are on our way to NY! I probably should start packing now.....Lord knows it's going to take me a whole month to do it. 

*We got an inch or so of snow and I think are expecting some more tonight. I'm excited for the kids to have snow to play in again......though I'm more excited for it to be spring and summer time already. I'm craving warmer weather, sprinklers, bikes, swings, the sandbox, pools, etc. etc.  

*Molly is hilarious. She likes to brush her teeth with me and every time I spit in the sink, she tries to spit too. Every time I dip my toothbrush in the water, she does too. Ohh gosh, it's soooo cute! I have to remember to try and get photos of her brushing her teeth.

*Anthony is working on singing the alphabet! He's got the tune down, but gets his letters mixed up. He makes me sing it for him a hundred times a day I swear! Cracks me up listening to him.....he'll have it down soon.

*Sammy got a few raises at work, on top of the raise he got because of his new position!! I'm stoked we will be able to start paying down some bills. I'm proud of Sam for always seeing us through the rough times.
