its busy but if you ask me what I have been up to I can't think of anything other than baby and toddler. Having a new baby and a 2 year old is hard. Maybe its just me. We have been so extremely lucky to have had SO much help dinners, playdates, babysitters, and visits with us; people have been so sweet and willing to serve us.

Mercedes is so close to being 6 weeks old and is just so sweet. I want to snuggle with her all day so I am back and forth with cuddling playing monsters cuddling being a chalk artist more snuggling playing steam roller and on and on and on. This is my day. In the mean time dishes get neglected, laundry is begging to be folded and beds are not being made but thats ok. This is what its about, playing and loving my children. Enjoying these small moments that I have with them. I always think about the Hilary weeks song, If I only had today.... such a great song.

The best thing is... I wrote this 2 weeks ago! Ha and that is how long it has taken for me to post this!
