beautiful chaos

The goblins who helped me with this glorious half-job-of Christmas are now fast asleep.  I wish I had snapped a picture of them down here first.  Because tonight was one of those moments of feeling complete and happy in my Now...a surge of Joy moment.  I love this little family my Jim helped me create.

It's a beautiful chaos sometimes.  And the *sometimes* make *the rest* worthwhile.

"I love this little family my Jim helped me create." What a romantic and sincere line, Amy. It says a paragraph. So glad the Now is good.

Awe! I love those moments! Your home looks cozy that way. I think you should leave it. :)

Your home does look so cozy and peaceful. I know it's always more peaceful when children are asleep. And you and Jim did make one beautiful family.

You guys got busy after I left! I'm glad you preserved this moment of joy in your Now -- very sweet.

"the mad beauty of the every day" :) As I was thinking about your post and looking at your beautiful tree I realized how much it all fit together with your blog theme. Thanks for showing me a bit of that today!

Like Jane, I especially loved the line about the family Jim helped you create. I live for those moments of joy that (at least partially) outweigh all the rest!
