Tired mama...

Last night was yet another long night with Caylin. There is another cold circulating between the girls, and when Caylin is hit she is hit hard and just can't sleep. So about every two hours she wakes crying and needing tissues. She wakes up in the morning surrounded by a white cloud of tissues. All night I lye in bed thinking "why, why, why" (because since birth, Caylin has had trouble sleeping). And especially this Fall season, we have been hit hard with colds! We like to get out and about, so I know the girls pick up germs all over the place. My hope is that they are just building immunities!

I hope tonight is a better night. My poor girl looks like Rudolf.

Sometimes I wonder how long I will continue to have long sleepless nights with Caylin? Will she be in college calling me in the middle of the night to tell me she can't sleep? Will it ever end??

Mornings after no sleep are always painful too. We have been home all day and it's been raining tissues. Anika doesn't complain too much when she is sick, however she is going through a typical season of "2's" and is testing out her power with the word "NO!", which in itself is painful.

We did go outside for a bit of fresh air and to enjoy the beginnings of Spring! It's looking so beautiful outside, I love all the green!

Now to enjoy the rest of nap time, which is a beautiful time....

Enjoy the nap tired mama! Your photos are beautiful!

I think when Cailyn is in college you may be the one calling her in the middle of the night to make sure she is sleeping:)
