while you were sleeping

Today felt like a do-over kind of a day. I want to sneak in to watch the girls as they sleep, because it makes them seem so angelic and glazes over everything that happened earlier, when they were awake and not angelic and neither was I, with a hazy, happy amnesia. But they are light sleepers and then I'd end up spending the night on the floor next to Phoebe's crib, so instead I'm gazing on some recent photos that I haven't shared anywhere but can't help loving. Both have that same heavy-eyelash-on-cheek thing going on, so it's like granting my wish to tiptoe in and kiss their dreaming foreheads...almost.

Sleep well, sweet sisters, and let's all dream of a beautiful tomorrow.
