A New " Normal"

 Life is so different with 2 children!! We are learning though, learning to enjoy the small bits of sanity that present themselves, how to operate on way less sleep, how to embrace and cherish the sister to sister moments. Its a whirlwind of wonderful and hectically challenging at the same time.
 My life these days has been much more about figuring out how to take care of our family of 4 than it was before and slowly I am beginning to feel like that's okay, like I have permission from Jesus to get my head around this new phase in our lives.  But of course life still continues and thankfully people come to us ; )
I have had the privilege of being a sort of information well/ post partum doula for  a friend and neighbor.  The boys in the neighborhood have returned. . . yesterday Mandla ( who lives down the street) brought  friends over because one of them fell off his bike, he said to his friend " This is my personal nurse, whenever I get hurt I come here!" The other one responded " If I would have known I would have come before." As he presented his freshly scabbed legs.
Its nice to have them back around, I think they stayed away because they were a little weirded out by a large pregnant woman kicking the soccer ball around with them, but now I look more normal : )
 Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment! Thanks
