The Brothers Family

Julian sat in my lap snuggling with his hand resting gently on top of mine today. He pats me and says "mama" in a way that shows ownership - telling me I am his. And in that moment, I know, all is perfect in our world. He has this way of bringing me contentment that I have never know before. A contentment that is like oxygen to my soul. I am so deeply, profoundly content with my sweet son. A love that is so deep and wide it is almost painful. Ending my day with the happiest heart.  (a favorite poem he reminded me of today) [i carry your heart with me] BY  E. E. CUMMINGS i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)                                      ...

We had a great 4th of July. On the 3rd, Dustin's company had a huge bash with BBQ, music, bounce houses, and fireworks. We stayed for 5 hrs while Julian ran from one end of the property to the other about a billion times. The fireworks were a treat since almost all of the local municipal fireworks displays were cancelled this year (boo). The fire truck showed up and let the kids check it out which delighted Julian right to his very core. We had such a good time. His bosses sure know how to throw a party. Then on the 4th we went to the parade by our house and then out to some friends' house for a BBQ last night. So many fun festivities. We're keeping it quiet around the house today to recover! Hope you had a great holiday!
