{Precious days}

We went on a walk, just the four of us, and then we played in the front yard.  The babies held a pine cone for the first time and played in the pine needles (an obsession of Fancy's) while the 76 degree, perfectly breezy afternoon wound down around us.  If I could have captured the joy and absolute perfection of our simple afternoon, I'd bottle it up and take it out for a pick me up every now and then as needed.  A reminder, that this life is beautiful in spite of its messiness.  That these moments are so fleeting.  That we need to laugh more and worry less.  That this life is precious.  That we are blessed. 

Today a momma in my MoM group (mother of multiples) held her beautiful baby boy as he slipped out of this world to join his twin brother in Heaven.  They were born on 9/3/12 at just 24 weeks gestation.  Precious Baby Andrew left this world just three short days after he was born.  Sweet Samuel fought so hard, but he passed in his mother's arms this morning.  Please keep this family in your prayers.  My heart is heavy.
