season of joy
Remember this? Two years have passed since I took that photo, and, thanks to a small Christmas miracle, the boys were pleased to reenact the scene. Mmmm. Love me some smilin' boys in their Snow Pixie Hats! Our advent season was one of waiting, in a different sense. Waiting for the stomach flu...

I slept with my daughter (2.5) next to me ever since she was born, until about 4 months ago, when her little brother joined our family. Nobody was getting any sleep in the family bed, so we split up: my husband slept with her, while I slept with my son. It made me so sad; I missed sleeping with her so much!
A few nights ago, we gave the big family bed another try, and this time it went much better! I woke up this morning for the third day in a row with my beautiful children on either side of me. What a wonderful way to start the day!
Congratulations on all your followers!
