resetting

When our elder lad was about a year old, my sister would on occasion bring him to me after holding or playing with him for a while and tell me "he needs resetting."  Some quality time with Mama, and he'd be back ready to play with other folks.

We've been very blessed to have family helping us for the past couple of weeks with all manner of things, from bambini care to household maintenance, for which we are so grateful.  Since we got home from the hospital, we've been "resetting", reconnecting with the bambini after our brief separation and getting to know our raven-haired lass.  She has us all beguiled by her discerning contemplation of us and her sweet nature.  She's a week old today. 

I hope to make the most of this time together before the elder lad starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks.   With everyone reset, we stand the best chance at long-term success.  Please keep us in your prayers.
