I don't know what it was...but last night I just HAD to go in and scoop Trevor up out of bed and hold him. He was sound asleep, but I took him in my arms and held him for a long time. I prayed for him and I just studied his face--something he's usually moving WAY too fast for me to be able to do. I marveled at his long legs--when did he grow up? We have a video of Trevor when I was pregnant with him--I was only 17 weeks along when we found out he was a boy, but I remember being absolutely amazed at how formed and how perfect his leg bones were on the ultrasound. And now those same long legs were spilling over my arms as I held my almost 4-year old boy.
It's going fast.
P.S. I didn't take this picture as I held him--too sacred a moment. I caught this shot last week while he napped in the car. ;)
I used to study my children when they were asleep also. Something so beautiful about them then. I love you, sister!
