Contentment
I'm not sure I've ever been more content than I was last night...
After our volleyball game last night, Jason and I picked up Connor from Grandma Bernadette's and took him home for a bath. Once the bath and evening snack were through, I rocked him to sleep though it didn't take much effort. He was a tired boy! I walked into his room to lay him down and couldn't let go. I swayed back and forth with him in my arms and kissed his little forehead. He was so peaceful right then that I wanted to bottle up everything that was happening so I could have it another day. Maybe today when he's grumpy. Or in four years when he's trying my patience. How about in eighteen years when he's graduating high school. I wanted that feeling to last forever.

Do enjoy the peace, every moment you get of it & pray that God will bring it back to your remembrance when he is trying your patience & you are crying your eyes out at a graduation ceremony....& wonder "where in the world did 18 years go?" I'm tearing up just typing this. Hope you have a wonderful summer with your guys!! Angie Tomlinson
