i sometimes wake in the early morning
and listen to the soft breathing of my children
and i think to myself,
this is one thing I will never regret
and i carry that quiet with me all day long

i had been waiting for the right image to post with this story and then today...ryder went and got his pillow and blankie and fell asleep on the couch. i just sat there for a while and stared at him--
taking every bit of him in
listening to his soft breathing
and wondering...
where has the time gone?
how has my baby grown up so fast?

i will never regret, no matter how many things i have to do, no matter how little time i have...i will never regret taking the time to sit back and just listen to my children breathe.
