I am not a morning person . . .

. . . but apparently, two night owls (me and Lando) produced two morning kids. This often has the effect of us being awakened in the morning to our kids (well, really just Mason) standing next to our bed and demanding that we wake up. This morning, it was actually being yelled at me down the hallway. "MOM! RISSA IS AWAKE REALLY EARLY! I HEARD HER LAUGH A LITTLE!" I know. Not cool. It's bad when even the three year old knows that it is "really early."
Anyhow, I am writing this morning to remind myself what a blessing it is for me to get cuddles from my kiddos, even if it is "really early" in the morning. I have found that it just gets my day off to a better start when I get to enjoy some family snugs (as we like to call them) before the official start of the day. It makes me feel happier and more connected to the people I love. And I can't think of a better way to kick off any day of the week. I mean, come on! How mad can you be when it's these two cuties waking you up in the morning?
