Voices filtering down. Playfully spilling out of the upstairs bedroom. The kids are playing. Tumbling, echoing, drifting aimlessly - imaginations at their best. Oh, the drama...It's so real. And surreal at the same time. It makes me smile. I think back to my own days as a young gal. The imagination that I had on me - still amazes me, at times. When my cousins and I were together - look out!
I putz around the kitchen, mindlessly putting dishes away yet I continue to hear and take it all in.
Sometimes I can't believe it. I still pinch myself that I've grown up and that I {now} have children. Children of my own who take after me...
With this loud intensity, I hear - MOM!!!
I shake out of my thoughts to call up the stairs, to answer...Yes?!?!
"No, not you!" I hear Aubrey say. "We're just pretending...".
Apparently, the dolls were fighting and one yelled out for Mom to their rescue.
I go back to my work with a smile on my heart. But a staircase leads me upward to the room of endless delight.
Can I enter in?
Sounds lovely to me... I miss those dear wee voices...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy... Time flies..
Blessings..
What a lovely moment to remember. I remember all of the times you and I sat on your old green couch dreaming about the moments you are now living. Your babies are so precious!
ReplyDeleteyes!
ReplyDeleteYes go for it.
With arms wide open and a grin from here to yonder:)
Hi Bevy,
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet :) My baby will be 27 yrs old in 14 days. Where did the time go?
We had so much fun when he was little.
Take care and enjoy the moments Janet W
I get to hear those adorable voices again, my oldest daughter with three babies about the ages of your kids moved back in for a season. Nothing is more precious than those little voices.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you wrote this post. You have a gift.
