Blissful Thinking

this weekend...

i love the sight of: this beautifully quiet park that nobody seems to know about but us, leaves on the trees and on the ground, Buby slouching in his theater seat with one leg up {just like me}, pretty pillows on the sofa, Buby off-roading in his four-wheeler, scarves and hand-knit hats in the foyer, the river before dinner, Buby casting and reeling in on his own

i love the sound of: Bebe's heartbeat {which Buby says sounds like Mo drumming}, our 2-year-old repeating his prayers back to us at bedtime, pennies dropping into our vintage glass bank, Buby and Lillian laughing at nothing during playdate {they just look at each other and laugh}

i love the scent of: chilly fall breezes, just-blown-out candles, cinnamon buns at Erika's house, forced flowers still blooming from the photo shoot last week {though they are making us all sneeze}

i love the taste of: filet wraps with crunchy onions tucked inside, root beer with a million bubbles that burn going down, homemade {but not by me} key lime pie with a raspberry crumb topping, freezing cold grapefruit juice, Ramen noodles {a pregnancy craving!}, a bowl of blueberries with Buby

i love the feel of: fluttering inside my belly, date night with my sweets, ordering pizza for Buby and Kiki {his sitter... oh God, we sound old!}, all of us showered before 9am church, knowing the holidays--and more time with the fam--are right around the corner
