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.

I love the pic of Aspen holding Willow, he is so cute and she is too of course!! I hope baby Willow starts napping for you, Lord willing. I'm glad we've had a chance to spend lots of time together too. It's fun being with you and the kids. I especially had fun today with Ava & Journey at the Children's Muesuem. Seriously, those two are hillarious. They were cracking me up on the way home. Ryan said it would have been fun to have twins,ha!
Hope you get your new camera soon. I will be following right behind you, I need a new one bad :)
