In these weeks we've celebrated two of our three children's birthdays. It is hard to believe that one year ago, on a bright May day, this was me working through a labor contraction;
And the bright button is One.
Three under 6, and the common comment is ::WOW that is busy:: Perhaps, but it could be busier. I'm not Catholic, but there is something that I admire about that Mary woman....she "treasured these things in her heart".....I want to remember the years when my children were little as a time when I treasured them and the time in my heart, even amongst the busyness of life.
It takes a little longer when they are helping...and a little messier....but I will choose to treasure the time....treasure the words they say....like when out of the blue, almost 3, Joash asks in a staccato-cracky-voice if he can "please have a cup of tea"......
Yes, he is a proud 3, here with Papere. Bonne Fete, mes petits choux!
