In the Bean Field

 

This picture is nostalgic, dreamy, a memory of a place I love. I miss it there sometimes, the quiet and peace and beauty. 

But it's easier to be away from that because I've learned I'm happiest just being with you. You are my new home, so wherever we go, as long as I'm with you, I'm home. 

My Sherlock Holmes

 I got you a pipe for Christmas because I like you and like to do things to make you happy. You've been talking about smoking a pipe for a while now, and I thought it would be a nice gift. I don't care what people think of us or of you in particular. I love you, and I like you a whole bunch. I like you the way you are, sometimes a little edgy for my conservative, old-fashioned self, but all around so much fun.

 I can just hear them now..."She would have never done that before." ..."He's changing her."...

Thing is...I have changed, and I'm ok with that. Besides, I've always been a little partial to pipes. They're so old-fashioned and homey. 

Dancing

I can see you moving. You were getting excited, like you were dancing in that tiny little space. 

And now I can see you, and I bounce you on my knees to the songs I sing. 

Life Has Changed

Being a wife and mom is all I ever wanted. Now I am both, and I love it. 

Sometimes its hard,  sometimes I'm just really tired and frusterated, sometimes I feel like I need a break, and I even feel like I'm losing it sometimes. But, change is nice. I love my life. I love these gifts God has given me, and I really wouldn't want to change a thing. 

I love you both so much, especially the one with the scruff on your face.
