lovies and laughter...
tonight isla and i are sitting on the couch flipping through the dvr. we are giggling, cuddling, and passing lovies back and forth.
what is a lovie?… kisses that you make an extra loud kissy sound and hold it extra long.
i have cleaning and laundry to do but it can wait.

i’m tired.
