Well, hi there, friends!  How are you?  Did you have fun taking out your camera first thing in the morn?  I did.  The typical shots I would have ignored because of no coffee and eye boogers, well, I went after them and I’m pretty pleased that I did!

This is what my morning looks like now that school is back in session.  I’m always up with Elijah because he thinks sleeping is dumb, Anna’s alarm clock goes off and she stumbles into my room and cuddles with me, Noah is one minute behind and I said “hi Mom” as he itches his bottom.  He snuggles onto my other side and we lay there and chat about good and bad dreams and what day it is and well, now we marvel at Eli.  I then get up and brush my teeth, put my contacts in and I come back and see this.  It’s the best part of my day.  {I think it’s their’s, too.}

This is my morning workstation on most days.  See my painted chairs?  I’m trying all sorts of new colors, it’s really fun.

(hey uh, forgive the blowouts, thanks.)

Yesterday morning at dark o’ clock, I was about to nurse Eli on my bed, I lifted my shades to a sky beginning to lighten.  After twenty minutes, the sun peaked through and landed on my shoulders.  It was really peaceful, almost heavenly.  I laid Eli down in his crib and went downstairs to take a picture.

And make coffee.

*sigh*  Mornings can be so magnificent.
