Miss A had a cold, and is now teething. That means little/no sleep for mama. The other day daddy had to leave VERY early for work. I was sleeping on the couch in the living room so that I could be close to Miss A; she was sleeping in the baby swing. I started hearing the pitter patter of little feet, fully expecting to be greeted by some sweet faces soon. Instead I heard some whispering. Then I heard Miss A give out a large cry followed by some quick hushing. Then silence. A couple of minutes later I heard the sweet sound of all of my children singing "Amazing Grace" trickling down the hallway from the girls' room.
They had sweetly conspired to try to let me get a bit more sleep. Our baked oatmeal was even started in the oven! My kids had gathered together to do the family Bible reading together. What a sweet blessing! After taking a couple of quick pictures I joined them. Each of these sweet kids are truly a gift from God (yes, even the one that was keeping me from sleeping)!
