My Bookends

Hello, interwebz! No, we're not dead yet. Nor have we melted after the record heat this summer. (although we came close) Life just slows to a crawl after you have a baby, especially when your other 3 babies (and tremendously supportive and long-suffering husband) still need things like food and clean clothing. So blogging tends to be low on the priorities list.

But... this post is a well-deserved tribute to my eldest. Miriam is such a good helper. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. I DO know that my job would be a lot harder than it already is.

Once again we're reminded that the greatest gift you can give your children is another sibling.
