*This post and series is mostly for me in an attempt to keep track of what the logistics of life right now, but feel free to read if you’d like! 😀 

So kind of sort of for the first time in 8 years I feel like I’m coming out a bit from under the ‘survive the day just do the basics’ mode and now I’m able to start refining some of the details of my vocations of mothering and housewifery.

I still have a long way to go but I think I’m getting a hold of a few things I haven’t felt I could get a hold of until now. There’s always been and still is my laziness, weakness, exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed, worn out, bored, etc. and all of those are fine at times, but I see areas I can do better in and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt I could start to tackle those areas.

We’ve been back from our 2 week trip to Texas for a week now. (Pictures to come soon.) It’s been a long week. Even though this sweet little bug is a few days shy of 2 months old, I’m just now getting my feet wet being a mother of 8.

3 of the babies left for Texas the week Josephine was born. We’ve only had 5 under our roof for some time now and 3 more does make a difference! Though, you could say Mercy makes 3 just by herself.

I looked at my table the other day during breakfast and thought “Man. That’s a lot of people.”

We have all our babies safely back in the next with us. I am thankful. Now if I could just manage to keep up with all of them!

We dress, prepare and gather together to celebrate life and new life. This helpless squirming little thing and God’s precious gift of Eternal Life give us all good reason to rejoice with one another.

Yesterday all the other babies were gone. Gone to Texas, gone to Bancroft and all I have are these two little girls. So I make a drink we can share, put on sunglasses and we get outside to just sit. Sit in the cool breeze and warm sunshine.
