Today, as we were driving back from a quick Idaho trip, I had one of those moments where it dawned on me like it was some sort of new idea:
“I have two children! Whoa!”
You’d think I’d be used to it by now, but I still feel a lot of responsibility and awe about the whole thing. Pace and I are “in the trenches” as I’ve heard it said. I am very imperfect and I get really overwhelmed at times, but I am also enjoying a lot of the moments while these kids are still small.
Below is a photo of a recent miracle, on a day when Chase actually took a nap, and decided to do so in Charlotte’s room. I didn’t fight it one bit. They fell asleep at the same time, and I got a wonderful break!
I enjoy having two kids, especially because they can play together and entertain each other. That’s my favorite thing. Life is certainly busier around here than it was with just one child, which can make for a lot of chaos, but it gives me plenty to do during the day. Chase and Charlotte make me laugh often, and my heart is full of love for them. And for Pace, too! Especially because he comes home from work and helps out with the munchkins.
