Six-Month Chunks of Time

First of all, don't fear! I will post the recipe for the Strawberry Sprite Cake soon! It is SUPER easy and tasty! Look for it soon.

I am feeling nostalgic today.

Probably because I have been with Andrew 24-7 for almost two weeks (with short breaks) and am About. To. Wring. His. Neck.

So I started trying to put things in perspective and thought about how he is just about 3 1/2 years old, and Benjamin is almost 1 1/2 years old.

Crazy.

Six months of time.

Over and over.

And over.

Here is a snapshot of my life as a mother, starting at the very beginning.

Six months at a time.

(Or something like that. Sometimes five or eight. But roughly half a year.)

October 2005--Expecting Andrew (Blissfully unaware)



March 2006--Newborn Andrew (Calm before the storm)



October 2006--Andrew's first Halloween



May 2007--Not realizing how easy life is with only one kid



September 2007--First carousel ride (I'm expecting Benjamin.)



April 2008--Two brothers (Let the real insanity begin!)



October 2008--Halloween (post-heart operation)



March 2009--Hanging out in the yard (Finally starting to get in the groove.)



September 2009--My silly boys and me (Expecting baby #3)



Wow.

In roughly another six months, I will have a four-year-old son, a two-year-old son, and a newborn Katherine or Thomas.

Lots more love in my heart.

And fewer brain cells on which to operate.

Stay tuned...
