Sometimes I wish I could freeze time just so I can soak up every last bit of the moment. Daddy needed a ride to work this morning and I had to laugh when we found ourselves awake before the children. I quickly packed his lunch while he got ready and then went up to wake the sleepy heads.
Camilla looked at me, then rolled over and went back to sleep while I moved her limp legs into some pants. Hyrum started stirring and happily wobbled over to kiss me good morning. We joined Daddy in our room and watched him tie his tie. Joseph was sound asleep beneath our duvet with his arms outstretched. He had joined us around six this morning.
Hyrum sweetly kissed Joseph on the hand and then climbed the edge of our bed like it was a mountain to be conquered. He snuggled up close to him, careful not to wake him. He put his face close enough to Joe's that his eyelashes almost brushed Joe's cheeks as he blinked. They both were so still and so quiet. Mike and I could have watched them all morning if we didn't have to go. It was such a sweet little moment. Before we had to end it, I grabbed Mike's cell phone to snap a picture. Those two brothers melt my heart, and moments like that are priceless.
Hyrum cracks me up so much. Today we were in the middle of washing walls and he asked for cookie. When I told him that there was none left, he grabbed my hand and said, "You gotta make some more cookies, Mom!" Like it was a crime that the jar was empty. His deep little man voice made me smile. So we made some "nickerdoodles" a little too close to lunch time, and then ate them. It helped brighten the cloudy day.
