Shadow Play

I stood at the sink washing dishes this morning while two quiet and content babies played at my feet. I stopped a moment to reflect on how lucky I am. The days are long and being a full-time mom to two babies is constant, back-wrenching, feet-aching manual labor. The skin on my hands is scaly and tender from all the washing and scrubbing and folding and sanitizing. Its feels good to be this tired and I feel no shame in drinking a well-earned beer in bed at 8:45pm.Henry has discovered his shadow! Shadow play can be very fun and the late summer sun comes through the windows at great angles. Park time has also become a lot of fun as the manic toddler needs to run like a border collie daily so he'll nap. We're putting a fence in. I can't wait. Siri is 3 months old today and smiling, cooing, giggling and sleeping through the night. Good girl!

That's all for now. Our mundane day to day is hard and often dull, but extremely sweet and happy at the same time.
