this time of night


(lily looking out at the very cold december morning...and yes, with a bink)

One of be best things in the world for me is sneaking into the girls room round this time of night and sitting there for a few minutes while my eyes adjust. While I wait for my eyes to get used to the dark I listen to them breathe softly (sometimes snore softly if I'm lucky). When I can make out where they are laying (Lily is a mover) I lean over, stroke their soft little foreheads, smell their sweet smell and whisper little secrets to them.
