Me Luf You Mama

After a night of conferences at work, I came home to find all three children awake.  Most of the time they would be in bed, but this night they were all awake, well kinda.  I was in Owen's room cuddling with him and listening to his day.  Chase came in and made himself comfortable.  Then Jeff came in carrying Hattie, which snuggled into my legs, resting her head on my hip and wrapping her sweet arms around me.  Then she said it.  "Me luf you mama."  The first time I heard these words and my heart melted. It could not have been more perfect.  End of a long day.  Snuggling with my family.  New words that made me smile.  Thanks Hattie!  Luf you, too.
