It was night time the second I opened the door and entered the house and closed it sending Evan upstairs.

I placed his PJ's on and put him to bed. I kissed him rapidly on his face before I told him goodnight and left downstairs.

I walked down to the kitchen to get a drink before I realized I didn't finish the dishes. I finished the last bit before I made a small mess of water.

"Okay. This head goes here." I said as I playfully pushed her hair into her pillow.

"Mama, can you sing us a song?" Laurel asked as she, Leland and Alec turned over. The four of them were still away.
