Little Shoes, Little People


A lot of the time I get caught up in things and fail to take in the miracle of it all.

I'll be going about my day, and then I'll see something very simple, captured in the picture above: my husband's shoes that he wears for work wedged in between our kids' little shoes.

Little shoes= little people. We have two little people! They wear shoes!

Now before you become worried, do realize that I am fully aware that these beings did not just come into existence yesterday. It's just that, sometimes it really hits me- we have kids. Two of them. There was a time not so long ago when I wasn't sure I was going to have any, as I wrote about in this post.

Lately when it's my turn to put Rosie to bed for the night, she lies down then holds her arms out to grab me and hold me close. I let her hold me as long as she wants (usually just a minute or so), because I love these moments so. She tells me she wants to "keep me forever." I ask you, how am I not supposed to cry?

We have little people who wear little shoes, but their beautiful effect on my life has been one of the biggest things to ever happen to me.
