Morning Happy Time




No Time Wasted Making Bread!

Well, Hello, Little Baby

The lyrics of this song, "I Get to Be the One" by JJ Heller, capture the great joy I have in being Ellie Beth's mom in some small form! 


Well hello 
Little baby 
Your eyes have never seen the sun 
You should know 
Little baby 
That I am the lucky one 


Don't feel alone now 
Little baby 
Do you hear me singing you a song 
I can't wait to show you 
Little baby 
How to crawl 
How to walk 
How to run 


I get to be the one to hold your hand 
I get to be the one
Through birthdays and broken bones 
I'll be there to watch you grow 
I get to be the one 


How does someone so small 
Hold my heart so tightly? 
I don't even know you 
I love you completely

This Sleeping Business is Serious Stuff

69. That incredibly great feeling of knowing, without a doubt, that you are right where you are supposed to be - that the boundary lines of life have fallen in really, really good places.
