across the ocean

Gathering and stacking rocks as we walk on the beach.





I feel lonely at the moment. Omi is sleeping. Mark is in meetings. Kimi is in Utah. Mike's home with his roommates. And the rest of our family is across that big blue ocean. Have you ever felt so grateful when your sleeping baby awakes - simply because you missed her so much while those beautiful eyes were closed? Is that crazy? Nap-time is my quiet time, time to work, time to regroup, and yet I hate being away from her - she's my little buddy - we do everything together. I love that. I worried I'd go crazy being home all day as a mom... but it's my favorite thing in the world.
