Sadly, I was completely ignored.
Mary Catherine continued to run amok, and it wasn’t long before Colby jumped in and joined her. Having them both running around was a disaster waiting to happen. Realizing that things were getting out of control, Everleigh raised her hands and shouted, “That’s enough!”
Both kids stopped dead in their tracks—the ducklings, too, and I don’t think I’d ever been more impressed with my wife. She squatted down so she could look both of our children in the eye as she said, “I want these ducks taken back out to the pond, and this mess cleaned up.”
Colby’s bottom lip pursed with a pout. “But Mom...”
“Now, Colby.”
“Okay.”
Without any further delay, he scooped up a handful of ducklings and started out of the room. Mary Catherine was finally able to catch one for herself, and she followed her brother outside. Everleigh and I went out to the porch, so we could keep an eye on them as they returned ducks to their nest.
And I must say, they looked pretty damn cute as they scampered down the walkway together.
Everleigh let out a deep breath and sighed, “Those two might just be the death of me.”
“They definitely keep things interesting.”
“That they do, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
“Nor would I.” I slipped my arms around her waist and pulled her close. “I love those kids, and I love their momma.”
“And we love you. More each and every day.”
The End
