In Akron no less.

I haven’t posted anything for what seems like forever. Everyone’s fine and growing like fast-growing-things. And rejoice, I’ make the flash movie not play automatically so my blog shouldn’t be quite as annoying as it used to be.

And happy new year.  Wishing you and your family all the best this holiday season.
Love,
Dan, Jen, Alex and Nathan

It’s 3 AM, they’re all asleep,
And no one’s here to see
As we rock slowly back and forth,
My baby boy & me.

His little head is feather light
Tucked up against my chin.
I hold his tiny hand in mine
And stroke his baby chin.

The house about us creaks and groans,
The clock hands creep around.
He snuggles closer to me still
And makes his baby sounds.

I love these quiet hours so much
And cherish every one.
Store memories up inside my heart
For lonely nights to come.

All too soon he’ll be grown up,
His need for Mommy gone.
But until then I still have time
For kisses and for song.

Time for quiet hours like this
With him cuddled in my arms,
Where I wish he’d always stay,
Protected, safe and warm.

And yet I know the day will come
When this tiny little hand
Will be much bigger than my own
He’ll grow to be a man.

But until then he’s mine to love,
With no one here to see
As we rock slowly back and forth,
My baby boy and me.

The sweet smell of a warm baby head and the feel of his soft neck first thing in the morning.

Need I say more?
