Love

Tonight my eyes flooded with tears. Tears of happiness at the thought of my children.
 Honestly, I didn't know I could love so much, and it was that thought that made me smile an broke my heart all at once.
When I met my husband I learned to cook, to listen, to read for pleasure, i even learned to be more organized, but my kids have brought it up a notch, I talk about the cute things they do, all day it seems. I make elaborate birthday cakes and I'm always decorating their rooms, I take so many pictures (seriously, if I took that many pictures of Jeremie...) anyways, i guess what I'm saying is that I was caught off guard by the depth of love this heart could feel.

I thank God for these little impish creatures who teach me a little more each day, for the man God gave to me, who stands by me and showers me with his steady love and for the God who redeemed me that I might fully live this experience of Love.

Life chez nous

What does life look like, "chez nous"?
It's waking up to a little princess who crawls in beside me to get her morning cuddles.
waking up again to a hungry little monkey who shakes his hands at me till he's had his milk.
it's kissing my hunny goodbye and then planning a day full of crafts, songs, and playtime.
then downstairs to chat with my house-mate and ask if she's had her baby yet.
It's the park, or a play date, or rainy day activities.
It's lunch and naps(for some, sometimes for all)
it's French lessons, etiquette classes, preschool, gardening
it's high fives, tickle fights, times outs and apologies
it makes me happy and drives me slightly crazy, and i wouldn't change it for the world.

One last time

Wow I can't believe I haven't blogged since the boy was born, it's already coming up to his 1st birthday, amazing. I will try this blog thing one last time. it seems like such a good idea in theory, but the reality of sitting down and coming up with clever things to say after a day of Raffi, painting projects and poopy diapers seems like more of a chore than an outlet.

So many things have happened that are worth blogging about since my last attempt that I don't know where to start. I think what I'll do is post little bloggs about different things and see which one flows organically. Ya that sounds like it'll work. This however, is my last attempt, if it doesn't work out, then I will figure that it's just not for me...or not for me for now. I look forward to re-posting.
