A Scene From Our Morning

Typically in the mornings when Maddie stirs Alex will get up to get her and let Pepper out. We spend a few minutes all in our bed watching Mickey Mouse Playhouse before I have to get up to start getting ready. That gives Maddie a few minutes with just her Daddy each morning to cuddle.

This morning Alex had to be at work very early so it was just the two of us. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and when I came back into the bedroom this is what I saw:


We usually always ask Maddie to love on Pepper because we think it's super cute but she rarely does it on her own and gentle enough that Pepper doesn't jump up and run off. I think this morning they were both missing there cuddle time with Daddy.

Now I'm off for a full day of painting our living room. Yes, I've finally decided on a color about six months after I decided to paint the room. Alex is so happy to see the numerous sample patches I've painted go.
