These cute photos of Niko playing with Pablo were taken several weekends back. When I look at them it reminds me that we need some more simple, fun days to come our way soon. Why?
Because we are tired! It's been a rough last couple weeks, with Niko's bout with Croup, and Pablo's work load. I would have never guessed how hard it is when your baby is sick before I had kids, but now I know. It is really draining, because it is emotionally draining as well as physically. You are in pure desperation trying to make them comfortable, trying to make everything ok. Poor Niko, had days where he just cried and cried and wanted to be held all day. It just breaks your heart. :( Luckily he is now recovering, but I feel like Pablo and I haven't. We have had no time to rest, to re-group, to become centered again. And Pablo has been up till 3am the last two nights with work, as his work load is too much. So, as you can see we need to REST!! :)
We are just not sure how to do that, and get back to normal all in one weekend! Any ideas??
On top of that I'm having trouble turning off my brain from thoughts on work/business, and turning the big 3-0 in about 2 weeks (I'm a little unsettled about this.)
Anywho, thank you for letting me vent. :) And if you have an idea of what we need to do to get back to our old selves, we'd appreciate the help!:)

Hey Dear Friend ~ I can relate to this post so deeply. Jerit & I feel just like the two of you - tired and overwhelmed with responsibilities. We love you three so much and are praying for you. And... maybe sometime soon we need to trade babies and give each couple a rest. :-) I always wish we lived closer to one another so we could help out during the day... love you, friend.
BTW - I think 30 is going to look great on you!
Jayme, I'm sorry you've been under so much stress lately. That is really rough. Especially, like you said, with a sick child. That's SO draining.
I hope you know that you are such a good mom. I hope you and Pablo have some time for renewal and rest. And I hope this year (30!) turns out to be a wonderful one for you.
