    I realized at some point this week that I haven’t written very much about Monkey, lately. I’m not sure why that is. I think that since his official Asperger’s diagnosis I’ve felt conflicted. I felt relief to know what we already...

That is a beautiful image, and a cute story. I wish my heart weren't so terribly broken. I'll suck it up for Love Thursday, though.

Five (almost six!) years into this mommy-ing thing and I'm *still* learning how to show my love for my girls...and also how well my mom loved me.

Happy Love Thursday!

How sweet! Last night before going to sleep, I told my two year old I loved him like I do every night and multiple times throughout the day. For the first time, he turned to me and said, "I love you too, Mommy." He is growing and loving and my heart melted. I had no idea after all these years of living and loving my family and my husband that the words could feel so new. Happy Love Thursday to you too!!
