The 6th Hanover kid is on the way! Lord willing, sometime around the end of July, we will be welcoming another little one into the household. Curt and I are pretty excited. The rest of the kids reactions are varied. Turi: "Have you noticed that the oldest always gets stuck with the most work?"; Bitsu, "I knew it! Your belly kept getting bigger and bigger and never seemed to go down." (careful who you say that to!); Tihi, "Where will we put it?" (good question); Carmen was asked, "Would you rather have a new baby or a dog?" "Dog!"; Zoya: smile.
As we make preparations for, yet again, another life change, I wonder how this will all go. I look at our current family and everything works. One older child plays with Carmen, one with Zoya and one helps with dinner. Now, who is going to help with dinner? Or should I do all the playing and the girls cook? Or will Carmen take over? So many questions to answer. So little time.
Thank you for posting your life for the rest of us to be allowed to keep up with you. Sometimes it feels like time goes by so fast we are caught up in the every day to day things and forget what is really important. I've never been any farther west than where I am now, but would love to visit Arizona someday.
