Due to my second pregnancy this past year, I took fewer clients. I was having some difficulty with gestational diabetes and just didn't feel up to it. I had nothing left for my family when I came home. James works at home, but the girls have been going to a playgroup so he can get some work done in the mornings, and he picks them up in the afternoon. So now we are all at home, but the girls want to go to "school" anyway, so they can see their friends.
We still live in the same house, although we have needed to add on. (We plan on having at least one more child.) The construction caused some issues last summer, as the hallway to James' office had to be blocked off, and his quiet place to work was gone. He was very grumpy and got very little work done until they finished the addition to the house, another bedroom and a den.
I wasn't feeling well for our anniversary (I was hugely pregnant), so James secretly arranged for my mother to pick up the kids and keep them overnight. We had a picnic in my butterfly garden with sparkling white grape juice in wine glasses.
Since our third child, John Roarke, was born in August, I've really felt like I want to stay at home until he goes to school. He is such a sweet baby, all smiles, and I think he looks just like James. His hair is a light brown with a little curl already, and his eyes are green. He is very quiet, content to sit and watch whatever is going on. At seven months, he's starting to pull up so he can see things on top of the coffee table. James was teasing me about how the next baby has to be a boy, too, just to even things out.
The girls are growing to look more and more like me. They aren't identical twins, but they both have my straight brown hair and hazel blue eyes. Miranda is older by ten minutes and she always has to be first. The first to try something, the first to get into trouble, the first to laugh... She is very dynamic and loves to talk to people, family or strangers. Miranda broke her arm last month climbing the pine tree in our front yard. It slowed her down, and she was so frustrated!
Maia is a quiet girl; the baby reminds me of when Maia was very small. They are both content to sit and watch the world go by. She is extremely shy and I thought she might have trouble going to their playgroup but Miranda makes sure she has fun. Maia is learning to read already (she likes quiet activities), although Miranda doesn't have the patience yet. Both of them love to help with John; they bring me diapers and they talk to him when he cries, and cover him in sloppy kisses. I'm really enjoying myself at home with the kids and James and I'm glad we can all be together while the kids are small.
