Seizing an opportunity

Today I did something a little out of the ordinary, and I want to remember it. Ruby fell asleep in my arms today. This is nothing new she is only 4 1/2 months old. I went to put her down in her bed; I had a list FULL of things to do! Getting in the shower was one of them. As I went to lay her down I glanced at my sweet little girl, and I thought, "hold her for a minute, she won't sleep in your arms for much longer." Time with an infant is fleeting! Anyway, I did. I sat down in my rocking chair and held her. I started thinking about who this little girl will be. Will she be sweet like her sister, or funny like Hank? Maybe she will be a fire pistol like Jack. Who knows what she will be, but she will always be mine. I am so thankful to be a mom, and I am even more grateful for the inspiration to sit down and enjoy them! That didn't come from me. Thanks to my Father in Heaven for that! I wanted to document this event so that 10 years from now when the sound of a baby crying will not come from this house I can sit down and read this post and know that I held her when I had the chance! Life is busy, and I rarely slow down to appreciate anything! Today, I appreciate little ones that I can snuggle close and kiss! Today, I seized an opportunity...
