Lately my little lady has been getting up around 5-6am but thankfully I am able to nurse her {yep we are still going strong at 21 months} and she falls back asleep. I usually follow her lead and fall back asleep until she gets up for the day. A few days ago Emma Claire got up at 6am and fell back asleep but I didn't. I decided to just get up and enjoy some quiet while I could. I showered, got dressed, and even did my hair and makeup for the day.
Once I got downstairs I did the dishes, and started a bach of TJ's scones. I hadn't ever made them before but they looked yummy.
I was able to do a lot of thinking while I worked around the kitchen and I just couldn't help soak in the silence. At the same time I love looking around my home and seeing all of the reminders that we have a little person living in our home. Before having kids I would have NEVER pictured a giant pink, purple, and yellow easel parked in the middle of my living room. But now? I couldn't picture it any other way. It's like it belongs there.
Hand print art on the fridge.
Scones in the oven.
And the windows open.
It was a perfect morning.
It was a perfect morning.
I also had some fresh picked hydrangeas on my kitchen shelf. I can't believe we're halfway through August and I'm still getting blooms!
By the time the scones were done I heard a little voice calling out over the monitor...
I took my camera with me upstairs. I'm so glad I did. Someone is quite the character when she first wakes up.
I love that sweet face.
We headed downstairs to eat some scones and left a still sleeping daddy in bed to rest a bit.

That headboard rocks!!
Love the calmness in the bedroom with the whites!
I know how you feel. I love all the little girls things through our our place.
O, yes...all those little things around the house that show a child is living there just reminds us of the blessing God sent us to love and care for.
Loved seeing your new headboard! You inspired me to re-do our bedroom too. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your monogram in EC's room and your initial in your room? I'm hoping to do something similar in our bedroom. Thanks so much!
Those scones look delicious! Hallelujah for quiet, peaceful mornings.
I cannot believe how big she is. 21 months? Seems impossible. She's cute as ever.
And now I want scones. ;)
