Then...
The crackle of a fire
Warm, rich voices in muted conversation
The musical clinging of a wedding ring against the side of a ceramic mug
Coffee brewing
My Dad singing in random bursts throughout the day
My mom's beautiful and contagious laughter
"I love you, Honey. I've already said that, haven't I? Oh well, I just can't help it."
"How about a knuckle sandwich, Stephie?"
"Hi, Hungry. Nice to meet you. I'm Mom."
"If you're bored, you could always clean your room."
"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"
"Her mother and I do."
Now...
Giggles
Loud, wet kisses
Coffee brewing
My son singing in random bursts throughout the day
Tiny feet slapping against a tile floor
My daughter humming quietly to me as I rock her to sleep
Luke matching his breathing to my own as we cuddle in bed together
White noise on a baby monitor
"Wuvooh, Mommy."
"No more Coke, Evie."
"Muh? Muh? Muh? Muh?"
"Luke, keep your sock out of your orange juice!"
A toilet flushing..."Bye bye, poo-poo!"
A distressed cry..."Mamaaa!"
A welcome voice at the end of a long day...
"You look beautiful, Honey."
"Liar."

WOW...loved it!!!!
I like your new background! I didn't know you could change what the "comments" were called.
I don't get the title...can you explain it to me? Feelin' a bit dense right now :-D.
Oh wait!!! I DO get it! Second sense...hearing...duh!
Hi, I found your blog via Connie's "friends" link. Your life with two sounds like mine with three... too bad we are a whole state away, I bet we'd get along very well given your anecdotes (I love them!). I hope that's not too weird coming from a perfect stranger :-)~

Connie: I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I was afraid the only people it would make any sense to was my parents.
Tara: Glad you finally got it, Sis. Sorry my blog titles are so obscure.
Jodi: That's not weird at all. I've found lots of great blogs that way. The comments are always appreciated.
And you never know...with the way people from CA are herding into AZ by the truckload, we might end up meeting one day. ;-)
this is VERY nice! I don't know you and I got goosebumps...
at least, I don't think I know you! You're picture from the Accidental Play Date looked familiar. Either way, I found you via HonorMommy's site. I knew her in college. Anyway, I loved this post. Very, very sweet!
