More than Mothering

Wow, has it really been a month since I've sat down to write? And really, I can't claim that last post as much writing- I was really just bragging.

Since the last time I posted we have move into our new house. It is still not "settled" by any means, in fact we are separated from some of our stuff that remains at our old house. I did, however, reunite with my sewing machine. I have not had time to make anything yet, but I did buy the fabric for my next piece- KG's pillow.

There have been some changes I've noticed with the kids since we made the move. Kenli stopped sleeping through the night and she started to have more "accidents" with pottying. She's had so many that I'm thinking she can control what is going on. I'm cutting her some slack because I feel like we uprooted her from the only home she's ever had (that she can remember), and I think she is a bit confused. She has mentioned a few times that she wants to go "home," which I'm guessing means our old house. This makes me sad for her, but I think she really does enjoy her new surroundings.

As do the other two girls.

Kaelyn celebrated her 1/2 year birthday as I sat there and tried to remember where the last 6 months have gone.

Life gets so incredibly busy once babies arrive, and it gets busier the more you have. It makes sense when I write it all out, but really I didn't realize how much busier going from 2 to 3 would be. I would even make the argument that the last 3 months with three kids has been much more hectic that the first three months with three children. Not just because we've had our house on the market and I started back to work, but simply the sheer responsibility that comes with raising three kids instead of two. In the past, if one was down for a nap or out with dad, I would have one child with me. And once you have two or more children, having just one with you for a while is stupid easy. But if I take one out of the equation now, I still have two children who are young and begging for my attention! But you know there's no way I'd ever have anything different. They are the loves of my life!
