"I wrote down a few lines every day for years. I never missed a day no matter how tired I was or how early I would have to start the next day. Before I would write, I would ponder this question: “Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?” My point is to urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God’s kindness."

7 months and counting
She tells her brother quite frequently that she loves him. It makes my heart melt. She just counted 1-12. She comes out with the most random things at the most random times. In the car she will start singing 10 green bottles and ba ba black sheep when they are not ones I have sung with her - must be my family? I treasure every moment and day with them - I met a lady the other day about to have her 4th child and she said she is so sad at the thought that one day they will leave home - those are my sentiments at the moment too - I know that I will always love them but understand that they need to make their own way in life too. He is just over 7 months now and is still doing the things he was doing at 5 months - crawling, standing with furniture, taking steps - but you seem a lot more curious about things. You have just started a few days ago having 3 solid meals. You are pretty good at eating - not quite as fussy as your sister was (and still is). You are always on the move. You are driving me crazy overnight - wish I knew the solution - you wake sometimes 4, sometimes 5, sometimes 6+ times. The morning comes much too soon for me and I don't want to get up whether it is 5 or 6 am. Meanwhile she is just playing on her toy phone telling her friends she needs her nappy changed. Back to reality.

What a lovely singer and counter she is.Jacob you have a lovely sister to teach you things but one day you will teach her some things. My sister, Pauline,taught me things. You are two lucky children having a mum that teaches you and takes you to interesting places.
Goodness, has it been this long since I read any blogs??? Anyway, I'm finally catching up now. This post is too sweet. Don't you just love little girls? I worry all the time about Aurelia leaving home, but I guess it's still a while away yet! You poor thing, you must be exhausted! I can't get up at 5 or 6am now, let alone if I was woken up in the night... I don't know how you do it! Oh, this is a long comment! Anyway, I promise to write you a long email in the next couple of days. Talk soon.
