When you accidentally punch the ground and your finger pops in a direction it's clearly not intended to go and you have to decide whether a mid-night trip to the ER is in order (it wasn't, thankfully).
When ice and snow and bald tires make it impossible to get out of the driveway, let alone up the street, so you have to reverse back down the driveway but get stuck even doing that and then you get rescued by a real life Prince Charming. (He even made sure I had fresh new tires on my car within 24 hours!)
And he dug out a throne for Laney so she could use a patch of grass even when the snow was so deep.
Look at that snow mountain! And those flying ears. No time for sniffing around in this weather.
The view out Leah's window was impressive! And, it turns out, impressively destructive.
Time stands still when a little spot on the ceiling starts out looking like this-
and before long looks like this-
When the ornament you brought back from Mexico didn't make the trip-
When babies get sick.
And then more babies get sick.
And then you get sick but really nothing matters because you are too busy resting to care about much of anything at all.
But your babies make you food- thank you Emma and Adam!
And (not pictured) drive other babies around- thank you Leah!
And then dryer breaks and the repairman is back in Mexico so you just can't do laundry even though there has been a stomach bug going around the house. At least it wasn't the washing machine!
So you turn off the lights and light up the candles and just embrace it all. Because it's such a good life, even when it's a bumpy one.
