I was trying to explain to them that it is so fun to have children, because it means you get to relive all the thrills of being a kid. They looked at me like I was crazy. Someday I bet they'll understand.

This is making me smile, big time. We've already broken out the freezer pops and I'm sneaking them all day, just cuz they are fun to eat.

Always so nice thinking of the other side of the world coming into what we're going out of. As you wait for all those things our leaves are falling, our heating is working hard at night, the girls are in tights during the day and drying washing is becoming a challenge without using the drier.
