And then there were four...

So many things to write about, and so LITTLE time. Exactly one month ago today the fourth member of our family entered the world. TT (as his older brother calls him) was a month early, but completely healthy. He took us by surprise being so early, but we have have adjusted and are enjoying having him in our lives. Buddance is doing well overall and loves to give TT hugs, kisses and pats on the head. I am dying to write about my labor with TT and the past month, but haven't been able to find the time to sit down and do so just yet.

One short thing I did want to record: I took Bud to get new fall shoes last weekend. On Monday Bud and J came downstairs to eat breakfast and Bud saw his shoes and wanted to wear them. After J told me that story I was struck by how quickly my first boy is growing up. Wanting to wear new shoes sounds like such a big boy thing to do, and yet here is Bud, wanting his new shoes, growing up so quickly. What seems like such a small, insignificant everyday occurrence made me so proud of Bud and yet I also yearned for time to slow down, just a bit.

Life is good right now. I love my boys and while I long for a bit more sleep, I am so happy to have my healthy, wonderful family surrounding me.
