Everyday Reminder

My friend Ashleigh writes a great blog that i peek into now and then. Today she had a post with a sentence that really stood out for me. This sentence needs to be put on my mirror when i brush my teeth, the fridge i stand in front of everyday, and anywhere else i spend time during my lovely but often frustrating days with 2 little ones:

To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required

My mom and my sister came for a visit this past week......'twas wonderful! But after a few days of more people in my house, i find a get a little worn thin a bit quicker than usual--especially with Buzz!! He is a constant ball of energy, consistently full of questions and demands....that by the end of the day, i am so done!!

Leave us to our own devices, and we have our routine, but throw a couple other bodies into the mix, and i can easily see how boring our life is to anyone other that us!

Here are a couple shots from the really nice week:

Nona and Elliot making homemade pasta!! My freezer is now full!:

Good thing Jack has quick reflexes!

Reading and toilet training with Larry Boy:

Carrie and i had the afternoon to be together on friday and we weren't sure how we would spend 3 hours with nothing to do! But it whizzed by so fast that we were both pretty bummed that we didn't have longer. It was so great to have her and my mom here.....and Jack is such a sweet little guy--i can't wait for the 3 of them to run around together......but they are all alot of work, and i need to keep reminding myself that this stage doesn't last long, i will miss it when its over, and To whom much is given, much is required........
