sleeping angels

the boys, especially adin, are very aware when aaron is away these days. usually the night that he returns, they are all over him and talk us in to sleeping with us because they missed him so much! aaron was away until wednesday night this week...and adin just couldn't get to sleep without him. we were downstairs doing some stuff and when we came up, we found him at the top of the steps asleep. he had been looking over watching us.
toby, was out light a light in his bed.
i have stood by these little beds for most of 5 years now...just listening to them breathe and watching them sleep. i have wanted to wake them up so many times just to talk to them more or tell them i'm sorry that i said or did something that day. i am so happy to have them.
