I feel like I need to document our mornings because these boys are growing up so quick and I don't want to forget the sweet moments that we shared... even the ones that are before the sun is up :)
Our mornings usually start between five and six and and they always include milk, cereal and snuggles. The boys usually stumble happily out of their room and walk over to the couch and snuggle up to where Drew or I am sitting and then say, "can I have some milk and see-yol (cereal)?" We grab what they asked for and then we get to sit on the couch with them and read library books or our Bibles (the boys love looking at the pictures they have in their Bibles), we talk about what we will be doing that day, and sometimes just sit quietly and watch for the "sun to wake up". And sometimes... depending on whether or not I have had my coffee... we will watch a show. I have such good memories of watching Curious George with Noah and Levi when Levi was just just a tiny peanut who was just a few weeks old.
Sometimes I feel sorry for myself that I have to get up so early, but lately I feel like these little moments in the morning that we have with the boys has been such a gift. Our days can be so full that if the boys didn't get up that early we would miss out on the moments that really matter and the moments I know I will miss once they're off to college and beyond. One day we will get to sleep in, and one day we will probably have to go in their room and wake them up... but I'm glad that day isn't now. I'm glad these boys still need us, and snuggles... and I really want to soak every moment up.
