Bliss

P waited at the bus stop with the kiddos last evening and it was such a wonderful surprise to see the trio as i got off the private bus that brings me home from work.
as we strolled home, Ch pointed out with excitement 'flowers, mama! flowers!' (his dad educated him on the likes of women, and in particular, the likes of this mama.)

Stopping to meow at friendly cats (calista attempted a baby meow too!) and watching our son bounce up n down in enthusiasm as he hunted for the 'right' block number, P and I held hands in the cool evening, looked at each other and shared the same sentiment -

'this is bliss.' ^_^
