It’s a little too easy for me to focus on the negatives sometimes, such as how much I dislike the dark winters here. However, I am choosing to focus on the bright side {not that there literally is one} right now. Lizzie having RSV and needing good rest and lots of warmth, the holidays with family, the kids being off school and Josh taking some time off last week, and lots of things being shut down have all contributed to a lot of family time– at home. You know me- I am restless and stir crazy, especially with a baby, but I am trying so hard to just soak it in like Sarah. It’s tempting to pop a lot of movies in, especially since “moomies” are Luke’s fave, but Josh has inspired me by his own example to read more books and play games with the kids. Once again, I am so, so thankful for a precious baby who does mind me multi-tasking while she nurses. She’s also the big kids’ biggest fan, of course. Not that we’re playing games in these pictures, but here are some snapshots of our time together.
