As most of you know my husband and I have one beautiful daughter. And absolutely no plans to have any more. We are happy with our little family and enjoy the time we have together just the 3 of us. I am grateful to have a fairly big extended family whom we get to see frequently. This weekend for example we had my two nieces as houseguests while my brother and his wife had a little vacation. Their kids are 5 months old and 3 years old. Add to that our 5 year old and we had a house full of little girls. The house got messier than it has in a very long time. The laundry pilled up higher than I imagined (I forget how much laundry new babies make!). The volume of screeching laughter and giggles was tremendous. It was fun and silly and girly....basically it was fantastic!
Meanwhile the studio is working smoothly thanks to my amazing staff. I work a handful of shifts and this week one of them was Saturday from 12-5 so I could teach a clay class for a group of 7 year olds. I happily left the bigger girls home to play in the yard with Mike and the baby and I headed to work. It really brought back memories from when Courtney was little. We spent a lot of time at the studio when she was brand new. I had the playpen and all the paraphernalia that comes along with a new kiddo. This time however, I was not as prepared. We got through it, mostly because my niece is a trooper and the best little sweetheart since my own baby girl. I was impressed with my multitasking abilities if I do say so myself. We had a great time, the clay kids made some fantastic projects and I got to smell the sweet baby head sleeping in the baby pack. It was a fantastic weekend and I'm so thankful for my family, my staff, and my life.
