and the road twists and bends and turns....


                                           ...and everywhere I see us.
I saw us today in the sun, as we walked along the roadside, our sweet girl a few feet ahead of us. I saw us in each room we chose a paint color for, and in the new french doors we uncovered behind some hidden curtains. I saw us in the old bathroom cabinet that we'll rip down together and replace with my Anthropologie cobalt mirror. I saw us in your mahogany dresser, and in the wind chimes, in the empty patch of earth begging for our garden, and I saw us as we all cuddled in giggles on the bed at twilight, with everything dancing and singing around us, calling of home and love. I saw your sweet smile lift into joy and a peace wash over your heart. I saw you in me today, and me in you...and I drove home smiling the whole way. We are six now, and oh, but how we do so love the number 6. How lucky are we...how very lucky
