Lately

I love how Holden's feet are together in this image, and how his underwear is sliding halfway down his butt from all the rolling around on his bed. We read about a dozen books together this morning, and now he's watching Kiki's Delivery Service.  It's a new favorite.

I go back to work next week, but I have really enjoyed this month at home with him. I quit my job in October and just got hired back at my previous job.  I've come to realize that figuring out who I want to be and what career path to choose is going to take a lot of time and soul searching. In the meantime, while I've been at home... we have watched movies, baked cookies, gone on walks, played in the backyard, painted, made crafts, cleaned together, picked pecans, played a game that involved launching our rotting pumpkins & gourds into the field, sang songs, written some songs together at the piano, etc. The list goes on and on. I'm incredibly thankful that I've had all of this one-on-one time to spend with him.

Were there days when I greeted Clint at the door, almost in tears, saying, "HE'S ALL YOURS"?

You betcha. ;)
