The oven beeps and the cinnamon rolls are done. There are happy giggles coming from the living room as our little boy ropes the dummy with you. The baby is playing on the floor and making gurgling sounds. Remember when it was all just a dream?
Outside, it's a beautiful summer morning and the horses are grazing in the pasture. The dogs are barking; there's a big crane in the yard! Tell loves it and says "want see big duck!"
We always talk about how we wish we could freeze him at this age; he is the funniest, sweetest boy. Remember when this was all just a dream?
We now have our second little boy, who we've been talking about since Tell was a baby. Our little Cas is the sweetest, happiest, most mellow baby. Tell loves him so much and he is the best addition to our family. Remember when he was just a dream?
I can see it now, our little cuties wrestling on the rug while we try to watch a movie on a rainy Sunday. We give up on the movie and sit on the porch to watch the storm while the boys run wild through the yard, screaming and laughing.
We're looking out on our field of horses, a couple of babies grazing with their mamas. You mention how we need to go check the cows this afternoon and make sure the trough is running. I'll smile and lean up against you on the porch swing, sigh happily and say, "Remember when this life was just a dream?"
Later, we pile the boys in the truck and head up to your parents' house for Sunday dinner. You talk to your dad about the cows, and the hay and the weather. Your mom gives me the rundown on how everyone has been doing, and I tell her our happy secret... we're expecting baby #3!
This is the beautiful future I dream about with you...and someday, we'll look back on these early days of dreaming, after all the hard work and planning to achieve our goals. We'll smile and say, "Remember when it was all just a dream?"
