surprise visitor...

Today Julian and myself slept in a good bit. The sky has been covered by a dark blanket of clouds which meant no sunshine in our bedrooms! It was pleasant to sleep in a bit, and even more pleasant to get a call from Josh around 9:10 saying he was coming home for a little bit. :)
Josh got to spend about a hour home with Julian and I, before returning to work. It was a surprise visit, but little did we know.. it was not going to be the only surprise visit of the morning.

As Josh walked out to the car and carried the trash can to the road, I got on my knee's next to Julian and opened the screen door, so we could wave bye bye to daddy, and blow him lots of kisses! Right as I opened the screen door, and glanced at our pumpkin's we had just set out the night before, and I noticed that we indeed have a visitor...

of course I ran to get my camera, and pointed our feather out to Josh before he got in the car to head back to work..

A smile was brought to each of our faces, in delight for such a simple sign we always look forward to getting.

I told Julian, " look juju bugg, Pawpaw Joe came to visit you!!", as I pointed out the feather held down by our front door rug..

He reached for it, and held is so delicately as if he understood exactly what I was telling him.

He and pawpaw even played hide and seek with me! Julian always goes around this tree in front our house and peeks around it waiting for me to jump out at him. He held on to his feather, not letting it slip for him grip as he played with me for a few short minutes before the rain began to come down.

we love our feathers, and surprise visits. It is a pure joy to have love ones who are not physically here with us, let us know they are with us, visiting us, and loving us.

Thank you Pawpaw Joe, for visiting today! :)

enjoy...xoxo
