april seventh is magic

four years ago in the wee morning hours of april seventh – he was born to me - on my birthday.
my boy.
after hours and hours and hours {the everlasting-labor-of-lucas-jude} he was the sweetest bundled up birthday gift i've ever had. 
followed shortly after by the sweetest most delicious strawberry covered hospital waffle – ever.
lukey + me – we were meant to be.
we celebrated his four years yesterday afternoon with balloons and cupcakes and a shiny new bicycle.
+++
my mom has been here which meant that i celebrated my twenty-ninth year  by taking long naps, having comfort food cooked in, my dishes done, my boys snuggled and enjoying a movie with my husband. at a theatre!
we topped the celebration off last night with cake by jeffrey, visits with friends and pretty little packages.
+++
before crawling into bed, after wild and crazy sugar filled boys were fast asleep, the house was straightened and jammies were on - i laid on the couch while my mom and briana found the chug-chug-chugging beat of the tiniest baby heart. 
so yet again,  in the wee evening hours of april seventh,  i got the sweetest little birthday gift. this new babe officially attached itself to my heart strings.

and then i let a.ray sing me to sleep.

love, lindsay
