The World Will Never be the Same

My mom sent this wonderful print for Henri’s room. I adore Brian Andreas’s artwork. The card she sent has one of my favorite sayings on it too.
“There are things you do because they feel right & they may make no sense & they may make no money & it may be the real reason we are here : to love each other & to eat each other’s cooking & say it was good.”
It’s kind of strange, and I’m sure all you mother’s of more than one child out there can maybe relate. When I was pregnant with Zoe and Darby was still just a wee one, I would hold her and think, how can I possibly ever love anyone else this much? I worried that somehow there wouldn’t be enough love. Then Zoe was born and I realized how much I could love both of them. I felt this too with Henri. When I found out I was pregnant I thought, what if NOW I don’t have enough love? Well, it just doesn’t happen like that. I think I am confident that if I ended up with ten kids (which we won’t, remember, we live in a bungalow! Oh, and I’m getting old, that’s right….), I would have love for everyone.
I bought a new cd for the kiddos too. We love music and I am always looking for good kids music. The girls like a lot of my music too and we have been on a big Pete Seeger kick, but I remember that I liked the songs I heard from the Curious George soundtrack. Jack Johnson is fine in my book, so I thought we could give it a whirl. I love it! Of course some of the songs make me cry, especially when I remember watching Darby’s class do ‘My Own Two Hands’ at a program a while ago. They sang and did it in sign language. It is a beautiful song.
Sounds like little man is ready for second breakfast. We decided he may be part hobbit! Or maybe part Umpa Loompa.. he is a little jaundice still. I will leave you with today’s cute baby pic. I know, I’m annoying… Oh! AND the girls should be home in a few hours!!! I talked with them last night and they were back at their grandparents house in Janesville. Sounds like all went well with the exception of their cousin getting stung by a jellyfish (not bad though, sounds like he just needed a tiny bit o’ first aid…), but it sounds like they are bursting at the seams to meet their baby bro. Their dad said it is all they can talk about! Henri’s ready to meet them too… I hope!!!

Yeah, V had that nice “baby tan” (= jaundice) for awhile, now she’s all pasty white. HA! :) At first, I was having issues about not wanting Q to feel left out or not paid attention to. Now it’s the other way around! V is easy– but I had to stop feeding and put her down 3 times this morning so I could help Q with various things (mostly potty related that couldn’t wait). I feel bad because V is easy to ignore…as she gets older, I can’t let that happen.
