Today the road report was red all the way into the city, so Mr. Stannix decided to work from home! We all love having Daddy around. He drove his girl to school this morning and took her out for lunch in the afternoon. When he finished his work he helped Hyrum build his log cabin from Christmas and I got lots of extra hugs and smooches throughout the day. It felt good to have most of my family home under one roof on a Monday! The snow hasn't let up much and Mike shoveled twice today!
I played the piano for a little while after Camilla left for school. Oliver cooed in his seat next to my bench while Finley and Reese fought over a pair of socks behind me. Soon Fin climbed up on the bench where the puppy couldn't reach him and sat so still while my fingers danced across the ivory keys. It felt good to play again, to release emotion into my music, to feel something.
This afternoon Oliver fell asleep in my arms and all I wanted to do was hold him and stare like I used to when he was a newborn. He will be five months old pretty soon and I can't help but wish time would slow down. I admired his long lashes, his button nose, his chubby cheeks and pink lips. While we rocked the snow continued to fall outside. I soaked up the moment as best I could before placing him gently in his crib and quietly closing his door.
