There's Nothing Sweeter...
...than this baby boy.
His chocolate brown eyes just melt my heart. Especially when they gaze into mine for long stretches of time when I feed him his bottle. Those eyes tell quiet stories - the ones he's saved just for me at that moment in time.
He blesses my soul. Especially when he's tired, and he nestles his head on my chest - facing my right shoulder so that he can suck the tiny little thumb on his left hand. I hold him with one arm under his bottom, and I cradle his head with my other hand. And give him kiss after kiss after kiss on top of that little noggin.
His laugh is like sunshine. You hear it, and it just washes away every bit of bad day you may have had before that moment.
I hope his heart feels how much he is loved. Funny, I bet God is saying that very same thing about each of us right now.

A Little Bit of Happy
Yesterday I found a package from my mom on the front porch. Inside was this little gem.
Isn't it lovely? My mom said these were the colors of happy. And she thought I needed some happy. So she made this for me. Isn't that so sweet? Thank you mom. I LOVE it!

Mirabelle Updates
Last week we felt the effects of Hurricane Ida. After three days of non-stop rain, we woke up one morning to find our basement leaking with water from everywhere.
Luckily most of it dried out by the end of the day after the rain started to clear. I'm not sure who we need to call, but we've got to have somebody come look at our walls and do some repair work.
Speaking of repair work, we've been tackling the mudroom. We've hired our neighbor to come and patch up cracks, fill holes, replace the flooring, paint the walls and - my favorite - add a beadboard ceiling. Here's a sneak peak. I'll have the final photos later this week when he's finished.
We also had him paint the door to our basement. I am such a fan of black doors. Don't ask my why. I just think they look so crisp next to the white trim.
In this hallway, Jerry also built the wainscoting a few months ago. Do you remember this space before?
It's come a long way! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing progress in Mirabelle.
