There are many moments in parenting that make you pause and recognize just how amazing the life you've created is. For me, this is one of those moments... not only recognizing what a miracle Hyatt is, but what an amazing father Garrett is.
The boys were out before bathtime, in the darkness, readying to feed the chickens. Garrett had Hyatt in the front carrier, all bundled up in the (very) brisk night, walking out to the coop. All of a sudden, Garrett said that Hyatt just tilted his hed back and his mouth fell open, in complete awe of the stars. He's never seen the stars before. So, Garrett just stopped, and they both stared up at the stars for a while.
I am so privileged to have married a man that delights in the joy of his child recognizing the beauty in such small things, the small things that so many others overlook. My wish for Hyatt and our other children is to always be able to pause, and stare in awe at the beauty of a starry night.
