I am really enjoying these roses! Perhaps by next year I can grow some of my own.

The little ones are sick so much of my time has been consumed with holding and comforting. I keep thinking of all of the things on my huge to-do list (the long range one, not the one that includes “run by grocery store” and “laundry”), but they will keep. Sometimes when I am sitting up with a crying child I remember my other babies, the ones that never cried. I would have given anything to be able to pace up and down with them. Glory to God, I have babies who get sick and fussy.
