"Your body is the first thing any child of man ever wanted. Therefore dispose yourself to be loved, to be wanted, to be available. Be there for them with a vengeance. Be a gracious, bending woman. Incline your ear, your heart, your hands to them.... To be a Mother is to be the sacrament - the effective symbol - of place. Mothers do not make homes, they are our home." from Bed and Board, Robert Farrar Capon

Can we get two?

This morning Lucy, my "big girl" at 3 1/2 years old, said "maybe when we get the brand new baby in March we should get two, 'cause we don't just want only one baby." Hmmm... Although I think saying we're going to "get" a new baby slightly trivializes the part my rickety old body will be playing in this process I do see her point. Imagine how dull life will be for me in spring with only one baby, one 1 year old, one 2 year old, and one 3 year old!


Whew. I think I'll just focus on the ONE that's on the way ;-)

    Ha ha ha. Once in a while, one of my grand kids says grandma should get a baby. I tell them that their mommy (or daddy) and all their aunts and uncles were my babies. They clarify that they mean I should get a little baby. Seriously though, What a heritage has been given to us, that we value babies. Thank you, Lord.
