elise has started drawing people and today, all on her own, she drew our family.
(morgan was included in there in case you're counting)
she is so sweet. i find myself yearning on a daily basis to just enjoy her more. when i stop to just look at her face and see the joy she has for life, i find i could sit there all day and soak her up. i don't know if that makes any sense. but as the days go by, and i realize more and more that i can't gain those days back, i don't want to miss the sweet moments with her or the boys, that i know i will treasure in the days to come. and even if one day, my fear of having dimensia comes true, and my mind can't hold on to those memories any longer, at least i can treasure them now so as to hold that perspective now, through the ins and outs and ups and downs of the ever-unfolding story of our days, and enjoy these sweet times of staying home with young ones all the more.

A good read- I'm actually at that 7 month mark of pregnancy, life feels so normal with Abigail and Daniel, and I'm starting to grieve the loss of this chapter- myself no longer divided in half during the day, but soon into thirds. I want to give each child so much more than 33% of me...
Kenzie saw her pictures and said, "Wow! How did she do that? She's growing up!" I'm really impressed too!
