Big Yard Bliss!

We're in heaven.

Lucy and Molly are on a picnic blanket in the driveway, eating cinnamon rolls and watching Andrew putter around in his oversized garage. Claire and I are lying on the couch while she nurses, listening to the morning sounds.
Happiness is watching Molly run until she's out of breath and seeing that she's still safely in our yard. Happiness is watching Claire roll around in her pack and play under a live oak, staring at the leaves in the wind. Happiness is Lucy with a pile of rocks in the yard, naming them and throwing a rock tea party. Happiness is knowing that unless they're looking, no one ever knows we're here. Perfectly hidden in our little brigadoon. Time stops when we drive down the hill, and that's why we love it so much. Happiness is having our own piece of the world.
