Three Is Finally The New Two

Do you ever look back through pictures of the previous year and wonder how you got to here?

These images were taken a year ago.

Three children was so new to me then, and now I'm a pro.

It's funny how good at life you can become with good practice.

Even when you switch into survival mode.

I didn't know I had that mode until this last year.

How quickly we adapt to change and familiarize ourselves with a new situation. Especially when that situation is adding a person to a family. The events leading up to and following a new baby are so surreal. Like a blip.

Then comes the experience and practice.

When I had Lena, everything was new and challenging. Now I savor the chance to do something with just one of them.

Getting to the number three was a no brainer for us.

The number four will come with lots of prayer and thought and prayer.

I typed prayer twice on purpose.

Maybe one day I will look back and say to myself,

Ha! Remember when it was just three?

For now I will enjoy feeling the settle after the birth of a baby.

It has taken nearly a year to accomplish that feeling.

And this is a good chapter in my life if I must say. Darn good.

And I thank the Lord for allowing any amount of clarity to recognize that.

Clarity speaks softly, and three children can be mighty loud.
