we are making it

my mom left tuesday and i've had a couple of days now on my "own" with my many small children. Today was actually my first day all by myself since Wednesday my mother in law comes over to help at dinner/bath/bed time and Thursday mornings are Phillip's mornings off. So other than Avery spilling hot tea on herself and both girls having major poopies at the same time as Canon, and Canon going through FOUR outfits because he's peeing out of his newborn diapers (too small)...we had a relatively great day. Phillip came home for dinner and then went back to ZOE for the night so it is still just me here with my little ones. Canon is due for a feeding any minute and then I'm off to bed as quick as I can. Just like clockwork...he's crying and so is Avery!! I'm off! Until later....Shelly

Shelly, it is so good to hear your "blog" voice again! I'm happy to hear you are handling things so well. It's no surprise. I have all six kids this whole weekend, so call me if you need to vent - I am 1 woman alone with 6 children for 3 days! Yikes!

I remember living in Iowa when Mark was in school full time and we had 4 kids 5 and under. Life was crazy and we had no grandparents around to help out regularly. There was a certain strength I found from being able to rely only on ourselves. Mark and I became a much stronger team unit parenting 4 small children together. God will give you strength, grace and patience. Hang in there.
