This Moment: Just In Time for Mother’s Day, My Heart Expanded

06 May 2011 Filed In: all the rest, this moment

This Moment.  A Friday ritual from Soule Mama.

Mira: “How do you love me, Liev, and Baby Genevieve all the same?”

Me: “I don’t love you the same.  I love each of you best.  Hearts are like that.  They expand to fit the love they have.”

Mira: “Hey.  You’re right, Mama.  Genevieve fits in my heart now.”

Me: “Exactly.”

Happy Weekend to You, Yummies!  I will be back next week with some sewing and a smoothie party.  Right now, we are all just sitting here and looking at the baby.  She gets more kisses than any other human in Tribeca, and she is thriving.

    Beautiful. I can see the love in the photos. Isn’t it amazing how much love we mamas can have. I wonder sometimes how my heart isn’t popping right out of my body. Enjoy sitting around and taking in your newest little one. I don’t think you can ever kiss a newborn enough. Oh and their divine smell and soft downy heads. I think I better stop there or I will be starting to cluck.
    Have a lovely Mother’s Day.

    Mama Cate, what a beautiful post and a beautiful family you have. Give Little Miss G an extra kiss from me, all the way from the Pacific NW. And speaking of the West, I just saw your baked stacked apples on Red Tricycle and I knew even before they credited you that that was your recipe! I remember you posting it way back and thinking how yummy-mummy it looked.

    Sorry, I am very late with this post, just scanning through my bookmarked sites on a busy Saturday afternoon. I was thinking to myself what a beautiful baby Genevieve is. Great hair. Have a great summer, holding and kissing your newest yummy.
