- An extra set of hands to help with the girls. I can't even imagine when they are both mobile. Piper, listen to your mom and take your time learning how to crawl. Piper seems to be more physically demanding while Mac is more mentally draining.
- An extra set of hands to help with the house. I'm not going to lie, there's crap everywhere. The rule in the house is that Mac can watch a TV show in the morning and again at night when I'm putting Piper to bed. If she has any more than that she gets all annoying and whiny. Good rule equals messy house. Once both the girls are in bed I am exhausted and have NO energy. All I can do is sit on the couch and watch reality TV shows.
- Another adult to have a real conversation with. Yesterday (and pretty much everyday) I had to listen to Mackenzie explain to me how "we are smart....like nachos" and answer a million questions like "Can we pet humpback whales?" See what I mean about mentally draining? All. Day. LONG! Don't get me wrong, I love hearing the stuff that comes out of her mouth and it provides me with cheap entertainment. However, I could use a conversation that doesn't revolve around the animal kingdom, Dora, her next birthday or Halloween treats.
And just for fun here is Piper trying to tell me to stop putting her in the swing. One time I found her sleeping like this.

Hi Kelly!!
I am so glad Jason got your blog link from Nathan. I just spent the past hour looking through everything. You have been and are in my prayers each day, as well as Nathan and the girls. The girls are beautiful, and you are a wonderful writer...some very powerful posts. Please let us know if you need anything at all! I am so excited to follow now. We hope to catch up with you all soon.
Love,
Liz, Jason and Lexi
I know it's not the same, but you can call me whenever you need some adult conversation! I would love to chat more often.
I can't even imagine how exhausted you are each day, you are one tough woman! Who cares about the messy house, your sanity and the girls are more important. When I come visit in the spring I'll clean your house :)
