Balance


My baby is beautiful, of course. And, I can't believe she is already one month old. I want to just sit on the couch, hold her and watch her sleep. But, unfortunately, my other children and my house don't really cooperate. My mom had a needlepoint on the wall when we were little that read,

Cleaning & Scrubbing can wait til tomorrow,
for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow,
so cobwebs & dust mites just go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

So, now, I'm in the struggle to reclaim my house (not easy with a 1-year old) but still enjoy my baby growing up. Kira thinks she needs to hold her all of the time and when her turn is over she usually tries to get in a good hit or scratch. So, if you notice scratches on Morgan's face, they are from Kira. That's a battle for another day.

Babies are the best!!! I totally agree with that poem. Too bad I'll likely continue to adhere to that philosophy even after my kids are grown and gone. I hate housework and avoid it too much. :) Your girls are so cute, Erin. Keep on enjoying them!
