So yeah, it’s been a busy few weeks for me, but now I finally feel like I can breathe a little bit. Will & Clayton have been returned to their mom and while we miss them, it’s quieter here. They’ll be back sometime later in the month, not exactly sure when. After we dropped them off on Friday, I picked up my gorgeous “niece” on Saturday. She’s almost 18 months old and cute as a button and so full of energy it’s not funny. Her personality is very similar to her moms when she was that age and she looks A LOT like her mom too. We played outside on the swing set and she watched Daniel run around out front on his scooter and she even tried to ride it a time or two. It was fun, but totally exhausting at the same time. I took a few pictures of her while she was here too. Here’s my favorite.
I could seriously kiss that face all day long. I took her home yesterday and again like Will & Clayton, I miss her but I’m glad I only have one youngin’ in my house right now. I know I have done it in the past with my own kids, but having only had Daniel for the past (almost) 4 (gulp) years; it really is a shock to my system when I have other small ones here. I don’t know how moms of many do it every day. Maybe it’s because I was younger when Sarah & James were younger. Maybe it’s because I worked full time away from the home back then. I don’t know. But, whatever the reason, I can tell you that I’m exhausted today and glad that at the moment, my house is empty except for me and my Daniel.
