The other night the young women came by to visit me and drop off a big, orange pumpkin to add to our collection. It was so thoughtful and sweet and yet, it felt so weird seeing that life was still going on outside of our home.

Life for us has been intense lately. I am busy. Busy with diapers, laundry, diapers, feeding, rocking, feeding, diapers, putting on dress-ups, getting chocolate milk, blankies, stories, dishes, picking up, refereeing fights, and repeat. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find a routine for us again? If we will ever be able to get out of the house again?

And then I look at Luke's little hands. They are so tiny, so dependent. Yet, I know that soon, so soon, they will be as big as Evan's-more able, more independent. A rush of gratitude and love sweeps over me again and I feel so blessed and so much joy for our family of five. There are moments of absolute craziness-almost a comedy of errors-and then the very next moment is full of so much sweetness. I have learned over the last three weeks to take the waves as they come.
It's certainly more work, but more rewarding than ever.

Good luck weathering the waves of craziness! I hope the moments of peace can help give you the stamina for all your adjustments. Please let me know if you need some help--I'm still here and I appreciated all your family did for my birthday--it would not have been much of a birthday without it.
Can't WAIT to see ALL of you!!
