Today over at Portland Moms Blog I shared how Alice and I have been spending a lot of our time lately ~ getting messy and making art together.
The fact that Alice loves to create like her sisters makes my heart so happy.
One of these days I will post about our adventures this summer but right now it is bed time and there is no time to write.
“Say Cheese!”
That is what I said right before I took this photo.
Their relationship makes me happy today.
Life has been extremely busy for our family the past few months. Starting next week everything slows down and I am taking a break and regrouping for the rest of the summer (more on that in a later post).
Until then, we are making the final preparation for the Love Rocks Run, which is happening this Saturday, and making sure these two are loved and cared for.
❤
I’ve finding the simple things in life are what I’m holding on to these days.
This piece of beautiful art made by my youngest makes my heart very happy today and will be cherished forever.
Daydreaming while nursing Alice is what I found myself doing today and it made my heart happy…I spend a lot of time daydreaming about Heaven but the “while nursing” is new.
Today I daydreamed about Anna and Abigail and how they would have interacted with their new sister. I’m sure there would be some fights over who was going to hold her first, the longest and/or how to hold her the right way. I also know there would have been a lot of love, kisses and hugs towards the littlest girl in the house, a title I know Anna has gladly given over to her sister.
Today I am happy that I can daydream about these moments, but I will say, I do so with a very heavy heart. There really is no words to how much I miss my girls and how much I wish our little one had the opportunity to be held by them. Knowing she will never feel that embrace breaks my heart.
Finding time to sit and write is almost impossible right now.
With that said, I have so much I want to share about this new little one and about our life together. As I find time I will find my way back to this space ~ I promise.
For now though, I’m going to keep daydreaming about my girls and feeding/loving on their little sister ~ two of my favorite past times.
On Dec. 27th, Abigail’s 14th birthday which happened to also be our first snowfall of the season, we welcomed Alice Lucille into our lives.
She is absolutely perfect in every way.
Thank you for your continued prayers ~ we feel them ❤

As the rain comes down today (and predicted to come down all week) this is the image I have in my head and it makes my heart heavy and happy at the same time.
My little puddle jumper. She hated to be cold and wet but once she was there she would sometimes let loose a little bit.
