Hello again, world.

We have a new munchkin in our house. She is small and cute and her name is Rose. Her skin is still bright red, and when she nestles into my arms she smiles and snorts contendedly and she reminds me of a little piglet.

A new baby makes life a little crazy. It's hard to get as much done. It's hard to get anything done.

The other morning I came out of my bedroom and greeted Claire who was already awake doing something or other. She took a look at me and asked, "Is it church-day?" It was a Tuesday. The kids didn't have to go to school because a windstorm had somehow caused their school to flood. I don't know. Anyway. I told her definitively that it was not a Sunday. She responded, "Then how come you took a shower?"

...Annnnnd that's about how things are going over here.

I will say it's worth it. (Well, for me.) I love this little runt.

  4. She is coming into her own, not just a Claire-twin anymore. She is a little miniature person with such wonderful facial expressions and everything. Can't believe it. So sad we're so far away, I want to hold her. Soon enough, I guess. Don't try to get things done, for a year atleast. Seriously, just sit down and soak it all in. I love what Claire said, so funny. Nothing like our sassy girls to always keep us on our toes!

  10. I can remember thinking once when Bethelle was that age, "I look nice today. What did I do differently?"

    Oh yeah. I showered. That's it.
