Today has been pretty warm. It's 70* right now. We had frost this morning. Who am I though to stop the joys of childhood? As I think about bringing another child into this world I have reflected again and again about bringing each one of these cute kids in. It was just yesterday, wasn't it? When Aspen was Olive's age, Cedar was four and Olive was 2. We were wondering if we'd get to have another baby.
Fast forward to today and we are literally days (hopefully 14!) from having that dream come true and yet the three that are playing outside aren't little kids any more. They seem like it right now though. (Because NO rational adult would be out playing in the sprinkler for at least another 10*!)
So let them play in the water! (We can always warm up with hot chocolate and space heaters!) Let them be little kids running and playing and laughing. I might even overlook that their chores might not be done yet, homework isn't finished and piano hasn't been practiced. I am simply enjoying the sounds of little kids playing.

Yes, the way time flies, we have to enjoy every little minute like the miracle that it is.
We're waiting for the new one along with you. Getting so excited.

How fun! It was actually in the 70s here on Saturday - then we got the big blizzard that night. What a roller coaster! Now 70 in the middle of summer feels cold, but 70 in the middle of winter (which it still is, apparently, around here) is just simply hot! So I totally agree with the kids. They look like they're having a blast.
The longer Emily goes, the more I'm beginning to think you may have twins ... What do you think? It's a lot easier sharing twins with sisters, by the way, than trying to do them both by yourself.
