The thunder rumbled outside and the music played on the inside. The dice were rolling and the smiles were contagious. Finally, several moments of pure bliss and I had no idea what was coming next. After our game, while Jonathen hunted for our next game, you came to me arms up high and asked me to dance. I scooped you up and you snuggled in. I could feel it within every ounce. Connection and surrender. One of the most beautiful feelings that you have taught me to cherish and not take for granted in this world.
So we danced, and danced, song after song. My arms ached with all 47 pounds of you, but it didn’t matter. For I know one day you will be too big to dance in my arms…
I am so thankful for sunday afternoons, for today this home became OUR home. Filled with contagious smiles and beautiful connection. May we be blessed with many more.
