My one and only sister visited from Virgina this past month. It was a pure delight to see her and her family and especially sweet baby Maeve. She has the sweetest disposition. Very calm and easy going. She was loved and adored by all.
I am happy to report that even though it felt so good to hold and kiss that wee one, I have no desire to have another one. No amount of sugar can convince me.
I have done my part to multiply and replenish the Earth. Each of my children bring me great joy, as well as heart ache. Life wouldn't be an experience with the ups and downs. As I look back on the addition of each of my children a pattern emerges. Before they entered my life, I was content, thinking nothing could make life better. Then that new special life entered our family. Even though that first year, especially the first few months are so rough, I can't think of what my life would be like without them. I can't even imagine how empty life would be if I chose to dis-regard my promptings to have my last two children.
Children are blessings. I am grateful for the 6 that I have. I am grateful for the lessons they teach me on a daily basis. Especially their willingness to be so forgiving of a Mother who seems to stumble through the journey of Motherhood.
Maeve was so willing to let me hold her so close.
She is really adorable.
How much more of this to I have to endure?
Look, she loves her Mommy!
My sister can make a good baby!!

Be still my heart. These photos made me tear up--my precious baby babe together with my beautiful sister. Pure bliss and I ache for us all to be together again.
