early morning
Usually at around 6:30 each morning I start to hear little feet leaving their beds, turning the squeaky door knob handle, and running across the hall to our room. Soon I have three boys trying to make their own space all around me. Mark, of course, is still snoring while I can barely breathe. It is not that I am complaining. I actually enjoy this time once I am over the initial disorientation that comes with being awoken out of a deep sleep. This morning Abel was the first out of bed and snuggled right in beside me. He usually has a difficult time lying still and will either repeat how much he loves me or work on selecting the one gift that he wants most for his birthday (which is a couple of months away). This morning while trying to lie still, he noticed his own heart beating and said, "Mom...my heart is beeping...God must be trying to tell me something...but I don't know what it is."
