BABY GIRL BUBBLES

Tonight she waits for me to get home from work.  What could be so important you wonder? So important that we nap and we tell the TJMax lady about it.?
Well, Nola is going to her "papa's house", and she has bubbles!
When we go outside to blow them, her excietment is welling up and spilling out all over the place.
She takes the tiny plastic want and slips it into the container of liquid,
...puts it up to her lips
and blows as hard as she can -
and there it is raising up ...
a tiny bubble in the air
rainbow colors showing in the afternoon sun
the beautiful sound of baby laughter

and the feel of the adults around her
never
never
wanting to let this moment go.
And then it is gone, just like the tiny bubble
but our hearts are bigger
and the memory lingers on
of the sound
and feel
of a beautiful afternoon on a small deck in a small town
blowing bubbles with our baby girl.
