my three littlest loves

I spent last night with my three littlest loves.
 

These kids.

My heart could explode from love every single time I'm with them.

 

 

Because Ben is going down easier to sleep Anna said to only rock him for a minute and then put him in his crib ... but as I sat in the dark, with his blanket over my shoulder, head nuzzled into my chest and his little hands rubbing my arm, I couldn't let go.

 

I rocked in the chair with him and listened to his heavy sighs and thought about how much I hope to get to have my own someday. How the plan for my own children was so set in place and then so quickly pulled out from underneath me. Even if I don't get the chance to have my own, I'm so incredibly lucky to have two beautiful nieces and one amazing nephew that I've been able to rock to sleep for the past five years.

 

These kids, they have my heart.
