Where exactly does a baby fit into this lifestyle?

Yesterday was a blur; today will be more of the same. After grabbing the small people from elementary school, I rushed home to make an early dinner (not to be eaten just yet, keep your hands out of it!) Then I threw everyone in the van to watch Seth's football game. He played! He tackled, he long-snapped, the family was happy. We left in time to go home and eat the waiting dinner, then back in the van again for Noah's pack meeting. A rollicking good time, complete with bucket pyramid relays and elaborate web-making, and an Arrow of Light.

Then home to clean up that dinner (partially done), read to the two smallest people (done), and fall asleep long before Matt got home from a church visit (some people need their beauty rest).

Today we drive fourteen varsity water polo boys to a tournament, pick up Seth from football while simultaneously dropping of Eli for a Scout campout, catch one or two polo games, and attend the temple in between since we'll be so close.

And baby? I guess this time next year, baby will spend much of his life in the car. Poor fellow.

  2. I am getting stressed out just reading about your life, Dana! You guys do such a great job raising your kids, though - they are so good. I can only hope mine turn out as well! :) And in spite of the craziness, this new baby will be one lucky, loved little person.

    I still remember getting shushed by my mom for asking you and Matt when you were going to have a baby as newlyweds...haha!
