It wasn’t lost on me last weekend when my crabby, crying girl climbed on my lap. I wouldn’t let her have a cupcake yet, and she was exhausted from playing and getting whatever she wanted whenever she wanted it at grandma and grandpa’s for five full days, three of those days with cousins. Oy!
I figured we’d start the grandparent detox sooner rather than later, and before I know it, she’s asleep.
My baby, wrapped around my baby.
She slept right through the cupcakes, right through the birthday singing, right through the chaos of family fun… for two hours.
I sat there… for two hours (my poor, pregnant bladder!) and soaked up every fleeting moment. Oh my, it was a Finer Thing!
What Finer Things are you celebrating this week? Link up and let us know! Please link to your post (not your home page) and leave a link back here so your readers can join in.
Darling picture
Thanks for hosting each week!
Oh, Amen! I love when Gracie climbs up and lays on the couch with me these days. I’m glad someone snapped a picture of you with your babies.
How very precious!! And you look fabulous for 33 weeks preggo too, by the way!
What a sweet photo! I love your phrase Grandparent Detox…hilarious!
Oh I love it! Some of my favorite memories are of my children curled up in my lap. This week I had special time with my 7 year old preparing him to start 2nd grade. (sigh) He still likes to curl up with mom in the recliner every once in a while…so I haven’t completely lost my baby in him yet! Whew!
This is my first visit to your site…found it from Women Living Well. I will be back soon, count on it!
Oh goodness. I sure hope I can say the same when my boy is 7! Thanks for stopping by!
I love this, Amy. So sweet.
So sweet! Thanks for hosting this great party!
Oh my! I’m jealous. I don’t get very many cuddles these days and I try to make sure I realize and cherish those infrequent times.
Good for you for seizing the moment(s)!
Believe me, this was a RARE moment!
Oh yes that is a very fine moment. So sweet. Glad you could enjoy the moment.
Oh, love the photo. What a finer moment!!
Love the photo!! That’s a keeper for sure. It’s moments like those that truly will last forever.
I linked up, I hope my post reflects what you want for “the finer things”, I won some knives from a fellow blogger and was so appreciative!! Thanks!
Grandparent detox going on here, too – I’m not sure if it’s better or worse that Goose doesn’t have any sibblings… no distractions, but no one to fight with, either!
Jumped over here from our convo at Parenting the Tiniest of Miracles.
So precious. <3 <3 <3
Fortunately for me, PreK Newbie's grandparents are a little stricter (and more experienced) than I am and he comes home better behaved than before. LOL
that picture is precious. a finer things moment for sure! you will cherish that forever, and so will your babies!
So sweet!
Adorable picture and a memory to cherish!
Aww! You and your babies are so beautiful! That big little girl looks like she was definitely needing some extra attention from Mama. How sweet that she was snuggling her soon-to-be sibling as they napped. You’ll need to take an “after” picture of you three once you have the baby, it would be so cute for a baby book or family scrapbook.
Oh, good idea! Too bad I’m about 4 years behind on those scrapbooks…
Totally need to MAKE time for that!
A moment to treasure, enjoy them whenever you can. They grow up too soon.
Beautiful post of a truly “fine thing”! I loved the “Grandparent detox” also…so true!
You are so wonderfully blessed!! So precious!
