The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{ramblings} A Moment in Time

Unrelated to the story, but still too cute, don’t you think?

Yesterday, I had one of those surreal moments in time, a moment I had dreamt about years ago, a moment I couldn’t wait for…

I distinctly remember when M was a baby, eight months old or so, and just starting to crawl.  The house was so quiet then, with just the drone of daily talk shows filling the silence.  I remember watching him explore his surroundings, full of curiosity, full of life.  I couldn’t help but think to the future…

I can’t wait to see this little one grow. 
It will only be months now until he is walking! 
I hope we have many more children to fill this home.
I can’t imagine the day we have all these little ones running around the house.
I hope there’s lots of laughter.

Flash forward four years to today.  I sat back and watched as my boys chased each other around and around the first floor of the house.  Squeals of laughter filled the air.  Little J crawled back and forth, trying to keep up.  It was so good.  

I am so blessed.
