Bedtime

These past few days have been quite difficult for me. I am exhausted, both physically and mentally. I am worn out in every sense of the word. Mostly because Danny has been away, but also because the kids are so exhausted and when they weren't needing something from me, they were crying in unison "just because". Amelia missed me all the time, Leo needed to be held ALL THE TIME and I wanted to run away the majority of the time. No matter how tired I am and how much I was counting down the minutes before bedtime tonight, I could not pass up a photo shoot with the kids and their cute tummies. Laughing with them makes my awful days a little more bearable and, I think, their nights a little more sound.
