Sipping a maragrita on the beach...



...that's what I wish I was doing right now. But hey, the alternative isn't so bad, is it? I mean, look at these cute little girls :) If only the little one slept at night... It's been crazy, and I am exhausted. I mean, it took me an hour to find my keys this morning because I just couldn't remember where I put them.

Freia was crying in her car seat ready to take her big sisters to school, Madeline used the time to get in my closet and try every single pair of shoes that I own, and Olivia was like "mmm mama, when are you taking us to school?!" every two minutes. And I, well, I was just trying not to loose it. But hey, deep breaths. I know I am so blessed. My eyes say that I am tired, but my mouth shows I am happy. It's a weird thing, being a mama. It takes away all of the energy you have, taste your patience beyond limit....yet, it is the most incredible thing and worth every sleepless night.
   

Nothing comes easy, although I thought that by now I'd already be firing posts left and right on this blog. I haven't found my balance yet, and really, that's ok - I am not in a rush to do so. My littles are little, and they will only be little once. They need their mama a whole lot, and so I am here for them. I am learning to be selfless. In time I know that I'll find my rhythm again, I know that in time the tiredness will fade away and I'll have my energy back. So bear with me while the blog runs on slow motion!
 

In other news...we've started looking at houses to buy - because you know, adding a baby and changing job wasn't enough hecticness ;) We're actually putting our first offer in tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed for us - we're very nervous about it and so excited at the same time! Chances are slim that we'll get the house, the market out here is crazy...it's been a learning process, but hey, it's so good to dream regardless :)

Three baby dolls



The girls at roughly the same age. Can you guess who is who? :)

 These pictures hang right by our front door, and they are probably the pictures of the girls that I cherish the most. I just took Freia's picture, and already I have a teary eye when I look at it. Even though right now she still smells of that wonderful baby smell and still fits oh-so snuggly in my arms, I know that it will change all too soon. Before I know it my little girls will be going to college and bringing a boyfriend home - and hubby will be greeting said boyfriend with a shotgun, no doubt ;) But when I look at these pictures, it is like time stands still. I go right back to that sweet baby smell and the adorable baby noises that they used to make. No matter how big the girls get, they will always be my babies.
