the best part(s) of waking up

The first peek outside.

Little boys who come in your bed at 5:00am to snuggle, then fall back asleep.

The smell of fresh ground beans.

Boiling pots of water.

Yogurt.

Sunlight coming in.

Coffee. Alone. In silence. On the deck.

Sharing breakfast.

Blueberry scones.

Not pictured: A phone call to my friend in NYC. We're planning our summer...she's coming home for 2 whole months! Other early morning calls and wake-me-up texts from my guy. He's far away, but I felt him close.  Girls happily doing their chores. The Boy who (for the first time in 7 days) didn't throw up his breakfast. Birds singing. Windows open. Good hair, pink toenails, and yellow sandals. 

I'm not going to lie. Re-entry after the weekend has been hard. Today was the first morning that I felt a groove. It's nice. I'm gonna stay in it all day...I just know.
