fun in the water, with a side of anesthesia

squeezed in some arm surgery. mama was a little scared but went in with a lot of love and prayers and all went well. turned out to the best nap I've had in years😴😴

but you had other things on your mind.. 'Papa do I look yucky or fabulous?'

Blessed..

is how I feel ...

*as I sit on the couch 'relaxing' barely 'watching' season 2 of House as I hear a quarter of what's being said as your papa is flinging one small child on top of another or on a couch, wincing as that foot was so close my eye might've been taken out. it's like a scene in a movie where people are moving and there's no sound.

*as you stumble into our room at 2am-a ritual that you've completely owned, as in 'it's okay mama I'll see you when I come to your room while you sleep and I'll give you a hug. I promise, okay?' Seriously kid you kill me-curl up between us, as I start falling back to sleep I always think how blessed I am and how our bed, is truly my favorite place in the world after 2am. 

*as joshie lays on the sand with my sunglasses and exclaims 'ahhh this feels real good' and rolls over minutes later and says 'I had missed you so much bebe!' 

*as you and 'the kids' keep asking 'what time does nai nai come home?' 'what time does papa/uncle mark?'

*as I watch you semi-panicking when sissy is out of your sight and when you're bonding on the couch and chatting you come to an agreement ' you're not my cousin, you're my sister sissy.'

and so much more, but I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking...
