Holidays...

School holidays are here and I love the break from routine.  I love that Madeleine can sleep late.  Enjoy the weather that is starting to warm up and hang out with friends.  I am looking forward to Summer.  I love that Tilda generally accepts that sand is to play with not to eat and that she is very very close to walking so by Christmas I can see her toddling all over our house.

I feel like after 13 months the beauty of my family of four children is being fully appreciated by myself.  Some days are still harsh and overwhelming but the routine that has fallen upon us, the very routine I am glad to have a little break from creates a structure that seems to work well for us.  I love that they are all becoming their own little people.  Very different people I might add.  A lot of personalities are co-existing in this small space.  But the chaos is something we craved.  I am now enjoying the chaos.  It was a bit of a culture shock.

I am striving to meet everyone's needs and I hope I am getting somewhere close to achieving it.

Bowling on the agenda today for the bigger kids and Daddy.  Shopping for me and the little ones.  Win Win I say.

A sunny day a few weeks ago.
