Life Right Now


I don't have any new pictures to post. This one was taken from Mark's i-phone, thus the quality. My camera broke about a week ago....waahhh! Of course it happens at the time where Willow is changing almost daily. So frustrating.

Anyways, Willow is now 4 weeks old. Honestly, I feel like I am treading water. Just trying to get used to all the changes to our lives over the past few weeks. Aspen has started Kindergarten (another post on that to come) which has me running him to and from school every morning. Hours and hours of my day are spent feeding Willow, and it seems like the rest of the time is spent trying to get her to go to sleep. So far it's very rare that I am been able to get Willow to nap without a ride in the car. Today, I actually thought up an errand to do just so that I could get her to sleep. Something I never thought I'd ever do! Yes, I was desperate for a quiet sleeping baby.

Aspen and Journey are slowly adjusting to our new, slower pace of life. They are used to being much more on the go, and seem to get bored and then on each other's nerves a lot more lately. Hmmm, now that I think of it, I guess they are used to getting more of my attention too...

So that's where life is at for us right now. Mark has been a huge help to me taking Aspen and Journey out on errands, to dinner or OMSI to give me a break, making dinner and even doing some grocery shopping. All this has lead me to lean on God's strength in a new way (which really is not a bad thing...).

I lift up my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth.

Three!

Yep, they are loving their new little sister.
Actually, words can not describe how much Journey loves Willow. She's the first thing she asks about each morning and after naps. Every time she sees Willow, she is so overwhelmed with love and emotion that she holds her breath until she shakes (yes, really!). It's hard to explain, but I'm hoping to get it on video. I've been having to keep a close eye on Journey around Willow because I've caught her trying to carry her!


Journey just discovered her jewlery stash and had to try them all on. Love my girly girl :)







I'm amazed that I was able to get good pics of all three!
