What I've been up to...

Parenting two children is exponentially busier than one. Let me just put that out there before listing what's been going on in the last 6 weeks (so you'll hopefully be understanding and sympathetic).  :)

- Changing diapers (one in cloth, which has been suprisingly easier than I expected, and one in disposables, which we are praying will not be much longer--see next sentence)
- Encouraging potty-training
- Washing diapers
- Running errands with 2 kids (3 hours to go 2 or 3 places--see next sentence)
- Running errands alone (6 places in less than 2 hours)
- Fighting a nasty cold that left me with a chain smoker's voice for a few days
- Suctioning the...err..gunk....out of my 6 week old son's nose as he is also fighting a nasty cold
- Dreaming about sewing and creating, but have yet to carry out that plan
- Eating for two, as I'm keeping my son alive with my milk
- Thanking God for my sweet and helpful husband, two wonderful children, and a life that I wouldn't trade for anything-- although I will be thankful once we find a routine and my 2 year old learns a little self-control (like not sticking her finger down her baby brother's throat...). Ahem. I will leave you with a picture:

  1. Ah, the joys of motherhood that you only learn about through experience. Sounds like you have quite the busy life over there.

    And where is the picture of E's finger down J's throat?
