Going crazy and finding Calm (Callum)...



Today we sat in church and the kids were on a roll driving me totally crazy. Than I had the most random non-sensical thought I've ever had: hmm... I miss them as squishy cute little babies... maybe I should just have another...


Yes, that was a moment of pure insanity and should it had persisted I would have needed to be committed into a looney bin for a long long time. I guess it was a combination of having missed them while I was away and holding my niece Juliet who is 10 months. It just goes so fast and I'm already missing it a little.

Don't worry though, the moment passed and there will be no more baby cakes or cupcakes to come in our home!!!!!! It did make me decide what I really need in a couple of years is to expand our family with perhaps a 2nd dog. Mackenzie could use a little buddy! And Heaven knows dogs are much easier than kids ;)


The time away did make me appreciate my babies though more. I had missed Harmon jumping into bed and giving me a little wake up and Rachey showing me how pretty she looks in her outfit. I really missed Callum too. He is still the only one of my little babies that still likes to just sit on my lap, be rocked... I love Cally Cuddles! He is just different. Callum is an old Gaelic/Scottish name meaning "peaceful". That is Callum, peaceful. With everything going on trying to catch up and all it is nice to just have a bundle of peace smiling in your arms at you.

  1. He truly is a blessing for you, and sounds like a great balance for Rachel. :)

  2. Isn't it funny how we long for a little break, an escape from the kids and a chance to just be "me" and not "mom," and then when we finally get the break, all we talk/think/want is our kids?

  3. Church seems to be an especially trying time for us too! Btw you didn't miss the party for Troy, we didn't have one, we just ate cupcakes after dinner. We thought about having people over for a short time but I really wasn't up to it after just getting home from the hospital. Just thought I'd let you know.
