When I feel put out, or like I can't get a moment of quiet, I try to remember that FAR TOO SOON I will have all the quiet "me time" I could ever want...and boy will I be missing my kids! Thinking of that makes it easier to love the noise and "interruptions" and savor these fleeting moments... <br />By the way, I started following your blog when you were pregnant with Gideon and I can't believe how big your little ones have gotten, and how grown your young men are! You have a lovely family.

I am just over forty (that, too, is just shocking for a girl who feels just-as-naïve as she did at eighteen!) However, I find myself sitting in the fullness of my moments more than ever before. The baby's skin, the way she gazes at me like her one-and-only, the back-up-the-truck sweetness of her coming to my lap with a book. Ah! How I will miss this time, when it is all past. (And the fourteen-year-old...oh my! Puttering around with my own Little Woman, who flips pancakes and soothes baby sisters and speaks of what the Lord is teaching her...how do you store up this kind of bliss?) Praying for your ordinary and full moments.
