As the light shifts

 As the light shifts and we move into Autumn we cozy up inside with tea and books. Right now our read a loud is "The Long Winter"- L. May Alcott. The girls are loving it!!  Phoebe girl is twelve weeks old and we are smitten with her.  She is starting to smile and coo, is enraptured by ceiling fans and clocks and is growing ever so fast.  How we love her.  Lena is finding joy in reading after getting her glasses and Emmeline is reading so much we can't keep her away from books!  I begin to feel what it may have been like to be my Mama.  (Conversations go something like this: No reading under the covers, we really must get going!).  Life is full of busy times and hard moments but we are ever working on slowing each moment down so that we can savor the beauty that the Creator gives us, both in creation and in each other.
