after.....

the jammies are on
and the last book has been read,
after the kisses have been given
and the prayers have been said...

they sleep.

I hear a gentle rain now,
beating on the window pane.
It is finally still and quiet in this home.
I know it is only 7:41,
but I am going to bed.

There are pictures that I posted earlier
for you to enjoy.
The little girls belong to Kea, Erika's sweet sister....
Cora, Kitty, and baby Beatrix
