"There is one thing which gives radiance to everything. It is the idea that something good is just around the corner." G.K. Chesterton

Things are changing around here.

Slowly.

But they are changing.

These boys are getting bigger. Have you seen Gage lately? He's tall. and handsome. And that Noah with his teeth coming in. They both never stop talking and have the funniest things to say.

My belly is getting bigger too. Before long we'll have a girl in this house. a little one. and diapers. and onsies. and midnight feedings.

Pure craziness. 

Tonight I was making dinner, white snapper and green beans, with Ingrid's new album playing. The boys were outside with Dave. Dishes were done. Lunches for tomorrow packed. Everything calm. under control. taken care of.

I stole a few glances out the window at the baseball game on the tennis court 10 floors below, wet after this afternoon's downpour. The boys looked happy. calm. taken care of.

We're in the calm before the crazy.

And I intend to enjoy every minute.
