Some of you may be wondering what is so different about tonight compared to my daily life. But I've gotten quite used to the three boys that perpetually share my home with me. So I usually don't feel overwhelmed by the male majority that my mom and I live in. Then you add three more boys. Suddenly our house shrinks. They are quite delightful-Josiah is sitting here at the dining room table drinking tea with me and talking to my mom-but have so much energy!! Oh goodness.
Kisses,
Abbs
