the afternoon still

the light is gleaming through heavily angled blinds

the temperature in the house is comfortably cool in this unseasonable

july weather

and the house is still

no air conditioner needed

no humming fans distracting the moment

luna and daddy are napping

daddy after three very early shifts in a row

and luna, well, she's a cat, it comes with the territory

especially when being chased by a crazed baby most of the day

there is no t.v. in the background

no outside noises

the house is still

and after some very busy days lately

I am soaking up these few moments of silence

 everly and I are enjoying an afternoon snack together

we started with some watermelon chunks leftover from

yesterday's party

and a few chilled pasta noodles

then I decided to try a puree fruit and veggie pouch

the ones I've tried many times on the go

only to find my daughter not eating much

and wearing all of it

but today is different

we grab a rubber coated spoon

and give it all another whirl

everly just smiled

and opened that adorable little mouth of hers

and ate

bite after bite we giggled and smiled

the moment was perfect

and sweet

and no one was there to see it

and I think that made it even better

because it was just ours

and it really wasn't anything but the sweetest little moment

and I loved it
