Things here are as they should be: normal, wild, crazy, busy, simple, busy... busy! Life is such a blessing, a crazy, wild, beautiful blessing.
Baby Abe, little Abe, has somehow been transformed into six and a half year old big kid Abe who is reading up a storm (honestly, he's reading at about a third grade level in the first grade), has more energy in one day then his father and myself combined over an entire week, adores his baby sister/ is a fantastic big brother, has a wild sense of humor (just like his dad), and without a doubt if we let him could talk for a week straight without stopping except to take quick breaths.
Our tiny Wren as I'll call her is the happiest baby I've ever had the privileged of knowing. At five months old she's almost certainly slept over half of her life thus far. Sleeping beauty for sure! When she's awake, she's strong, a little feisty, thinks that life is meant to be lived LOUD (thanks to big brother) and almost always has a smile on her tiny face.
The house is always a mess. My mind never rests. At times I'm not sure I've accomplished even the most basic of necessities required of a day but life goes on and we are thankful.
