my sweet girl

I came home from working in Salem today and Lucy was so happy to see me. She was probably mostly happy because she knows I have the goods, but she smiled and kicked and did this lovely thing with her hands where she clasps them under her chin, like this:

Throughout all of the craziness and overwhelm of the past two weeks, all I have to do is let my sweet girl lay her head on my shoulder and suck on her thumb, and I instantly feel calm. She's not sleeping great (anymore), and she sometimes makes me carry her around endlessly, but I don't care. She brings me joy and reminds me that life IS beautiful. Even through the hard stuff.

I miss you and wish I was there to just hang out and hug you and your sweet girl... and drink good wine and laugh and cry. Hang in there.

xxoo,

p.s. I'm sure Lucy's just in the 4 month sleep regression and she'll be sleeping better again soon! That's what I'm telling myself about Aden's sleep ;)
