Presence is very often the best present. So glad you are feeling better and able to enjoy a simply rich day with your precious family,

It’s so wonderful to watch siblings become “friends” isn’t it? The older both of my under 2 year olds are getting, the closer they become. Watching that love between them is so wonderful.

Jessica-As soon as I am mobile again, I’d love to get the kids together for a play date. Jude would be so, SO excited to meet another Pokemon lover, and Ramona would love to meet Dylan!

Thanks, Erin. You too, Meg.

Sarah-We coming up on month #9. Hopefully we’ll get through it (and the next, oh, 18 years) without issue. Funny about you looking for parkour classes for Robbie. Josh and I have always said that as soon as Jude gets wind of parkour… well, we’re in trouble.

Robbie was very good with Fiona as well, until 9 months, then the honeymoon was over. That said, now that she is vocal and mobile and will go along with a lot of what he wants (though not always), they are great together. My mother noted that they are very devoted to each other and have trouble being apart, especially when they are spending time away from home overnight. The brother/sister relationship is very special.
As for the need for movement. I am with you. I’ve even looked for parkour classes for Robbie, which, unfortunately, don’t seem to exist. Good luck with your back!

It is very hard when circumstances make it difficult to be the kind of mom you have always envisioned yourself being. The challenge is to figure out ways to express the values underlying that vision in the context of the changed circumstances.

I hope you feel better soon, Jillian. Let me know when I can do a laundry run, OK?

It’s obvious your kids know how much you love them. That makes you great.

They’re really fantastic, Katie. Wet and slobbery, but fantastic. (=
