Pure mushy love


My favorite day of the week is Monday. I love Mondays when the work week starts for most people heading off to work outside of the home, but Ruby J and I get to start the week off in the house surrounded by quiet and lots of cuddles. I feel like I have time to get caught up with caring for the home (trying to think positively about housework) after a weekend of fun and I make sure I take plenty of time to laugh and play with Ruby while I follow her around as she pulls herself up on everything (yep, she still has one focus in life) and plays her little games with me (when you see her next, ask her how big she is and be prepared to laugh yourself silly).

Then, we pick up Kai from pre-school and life becomes much louder and much more active. But, still nice and familiar. Today, friends at school commented how Ruby basically leaps out of my arms to hug her brother when we pick him up. I watched more closely and noticed how he wraps his arms around her and kisses her and says in his sweet, quiet (note this peculiarity) voice, "Oh, how I love you Ruby June."

See, you'd love Mondays too, if you were me.
