Stopped to pick up school stuff

Somehow everything reminded me of the babies and how they won't be with us for the holidays.

I will respect their choice

Very bummed. Not seeing babies THIS weekend. 3 more weeks. Don't know why. It's cool.

Desperately missing the baby.

How things are different

How are things different?

The time it takes to get in the van with one 6 year old is vastly shorter than the time it takes with 3 children!

maybe...

might get to see the babies in a week...

maybe...

hoping it's the right choice... hubster worried it might make it worse for us... thinking it will be best for them...

cannot wait to hug and kiss them...

it's our first weekend without them and not 1000 other things to do... at home... cleaning, organizing and feeling their absence in a new way

So much for the do not call list

Got a call today for a newborn. So glad it went to voicemail. Hard to say no but I know it's for the best

missing little things

Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss. And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone.

love love this song...

when i would drop off the babies i would put them in their little seats at daycare and ping-pong kissing them back and forth... they would be sticky from their waffles and syrup that chef hubby would have packed them for breakfast...

missing them more and more as time goes on...

helps that i've been getting random picture texts saying hi and love you but still --- just want to HOLD them...

well technically you can kiss my grits

have been meaning to post and time is flying by - somehow more busy with only one child (we are out of the house as much as possible)

last tues was parent teacher conference and had an interesting conversation with my son's new weekly pull out teacher... i was trying to let her know he was grieving the kids leaving - and she kept saying stuff about how it would be hard for him to adjust to kids as an only child

ONLY CHILD?!?!?! i'm sorry - i didn't realize someone who has had TWO siblings for over 16 months would be considered an ONLY CHILD (forget the fact that he had a little bro for a month and a half before that....)

i was grumbling about it the next day at work and the psychology (PSYCHOLOGY) teacher looked at me and said - well he is TECHNICALLY an only child...

my response was... no - not really... even his therapist has said he is not an only child...
