But I totally understand the shift in focus and priorities as a homeschooling mother of 5 myself. Congratulations on baby Rafe--he looks adorable. Keep treasuring those all too swiftly passing baby days!<br />Blessings to you and yours,<br />PriscillaPriscillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-85942191856776942662016-04-10T12:27:44.804-05:002016-04-10T12:27:44.804-05:00Thanks so much, Shannon!

Yes, I was a little concerned about his size if he went full term since I know boys tend to be bigger... but actually both my boys ended up being my smallest babies!

Rafe is such a handsome little chap -- what a blessing that he came healthy and early (imagine how big he might have been if he had been on time! On second thought, maybe you shouldn't think about that... ;-). What a perfect time of year to welcome a new life!<br /><br />I can't believe how much your littles have grown -- the girls, especially! I pray that your recovery will continue to go well, and that the transition to life as a family of 6 will be as smooth as possible. <br /><br />So happy for you all!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Shannon~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-8407481960033038262016-03-29T21:24:42.445-05:002016-03-29T21:24:42.445-05:00How lovely!

I've so enjoyed reading your posts since I discovered it in 2008 - I think it was through searching for The Box of Delights that I came across it. Then adter reading through the archives I saw that we shared similar tastes in music and literature. It's been so fun following you for the last few years. I completely understand why you've had to call it a day, life gets so busy. I hope maybe we can still keep in touch via instagram? All the best for the future, God bless you and your family. Any maybe one day, if you ever manage to get over to the UK again (maybe when the children are older?!) we will meet in person!
