Quiet Season

I can't believe that Miss Samantha has been with us for almost three weeks now.
We are all smitten! The children quickly do their morning chores so they can line up to hold her. No jealousy from anyone...just overwhelming love and constant comments on her 'cuteness.' (:

Yesterday, I was greeted by two sweet little smiles from her as I was wishing her a good morning. Nice trade off for still recovering from the c-section. Although I would have endured so much more to bring her into the world (: !

Nursing is still riddled with some bumps, but I am determined and know that whatever I can offer for even a short amount of time is for her best.
And I am learning to not be anxious and place my trust in Him.

Next week we are slowly easing into school. I look forward to the structure since it has been so hot in our area to do anything outside. And then in a couple of weeks we will be in full swing with school, co-op, piano, Taekwondo, Awanas and all the other activities that we participate in the school year. So, I am purposing to soak this 'quiet season' in, if only for a few more days, and be content to just enjoying my children.

Thank you all for all your sweet comments. I am slowly making my way to your blogs...I have missed 'visiting' you all (: !
