Dirt between her fingers

Nothing really prepares you for those transcendent parent moments--like when Hope grabs my hand to go find Daddy during hide and seek and I catch a glimpse of the preschool dirt between her fingers. In that moment, the dirt itself seems sacred to me. How much longer will she play so honestly and remain totally oblivious to how she looks on the outside? #theygrowupsofast #treasurethesmallthings On October 15, 2015 at 08:14PM

"I'm in my nest!"

This day was bound to come

But so soon?

H: Mommy, I want my own phone.

Hope in a new house

"Can we take my toys?"

"Can I play in the living room all day long?"

"Where's my washcloth?"

"But we can't bring my bed because it's too heavy."

"We need a couch in here. For all of us!"
