How Could I Ask for More?

There's nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon...

Walking to the sunlight, and being cradled my the moon

Catching fireflies at night

Building castles in the sand

Kissing Mama's face goodnight

And holding Daddy's hand

Thank you Lord,

how could I ask for more?

Running barefoolt in the grass...

A little hide and go seek

Being so in love, that you can hardly eat

Dancing in the dark, when there's no one else around

Being bundled 'neath the covers, watching snow

Fall to the ground

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more?

So many things I thought would bring me happiness

Some dreams that are realities today

Such an irony the things that mean the most to me

Are the memories that I've made along the way

So if there's anything I've learned

From this journey I am on

Simple truths will keep you going

Simple love will keep you strong

Cause there are questions without answers

Flames that never die

Heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise

So thank you Lord, oh thank you Lord

How could I ask for more...

Yesterday we saw Momma G for Mothers Day and I can't tell you how incredible it was.

I find it beyond difficult to describe what this relationship is like between mother and first mother. But when you really open yourself up to it, let down all your walls and make yourself as vulnerable as she has...then something happens. I get teary when I think about how much I love these women. I cannot imagine what it's like to trust someone with your child, and yet these women have done it so gracefully with us. So seeing them and nourishing a relationship with them and our shared child is absolute therapy for me.

Sadie-cakes was in her normal fabulous mood and was being sassy around the boys. She was beggin' for sweets from Momma G, and it was so fun to watch these two interact and see the joy in both of their eyes. Sadie doesn't know yet the impact of these playdates, but to see Momma G laugh and light up was priceless. Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more...
