Ordinary Days

Most days around here are pretty average and don't really offer exceptional stories that I can pass along. Today was one of those average days where I thought more than once, "Wow, this motherhood thing is hard." I don't know how I'd get through without the Lord's help. Abs was up before 5:30, Sarah Grace followed shortly after 5:30 which meant I was up for the day. Laine slept until around 6:45 when, according to her, Sarah Grace came in and said, "You want to wake up now, Laine?" I guess Sarah Grace figured, "Hey, you're sleeping the day away, I've been up for over an hour now. Let's get shakin'!" At various times today, Abby and Sarah Grace have cried at the same time; Sarah Grace because she got up too early and Abby because I think she doesn't like Caesar salad too much and I do. She and I've got to terms on the diet before too long! In the midst of the ordinary, I did get some cute pictures or Sarah Grace reading to Abs and of Abs just taking it all in. I got a not so ordinary picture of Laine at the computer yesterday. Perhaps we can take a tip from her on how to check our e-mail better?

What? Don't you check your e-mail with your feet?

Abby's taking it all in.
