TBT - And Baby Makes 4

I was recently thinking about a cherished memory from several years ago (pre-blog) which seems fitting to share in the month of Mother's Day.  I only wish I'd thought of it a couple of weeks ago.

Jack's blessing day.

It was a simple thing, but left a significant impression on me.  When Jack was brand-new, he slept in our room and Cat asked if she could sleep in there with us too.  Jack was in a bassinet on my side of the bed and Cat was on the floor at the foot of our bed.  I just remember lying down in the middle of the night with my family all around me.  I could distinguish each person's soft sleeping sounds, and a wave of love and warmth washed over me.  I think of it as a tender manifestation of the spirit, helping me to appreciate the importance of having a family and what a blessing they all were in my life.
