My three babes are sound asleep right now and it is nice to enjoy a few moments of silence to myself. Michael told me to wake him up five minutes ago, but I am going to let him sleep a little longer as he needs it. CFA studies will consume the rest of his Saturday afternoon.
Sometimes I wonder what we got ourselves into here in CA, 2 hours commuting everyday and busy job, plus CFA exam looming over us, among many other things (new baby on the way, busy church callings, classes, fatigue and doctors appointments galore (mine and Ambyr's)). I feel like I hardly ever see my husband; can't remember the last time we went on a date; and eating dinner together as a family during the week disappeared several years ago. But just to have him asleep on the couch next to me brings so much comfort and reassurance. I know he is doing his very best to take care of us (and I am so grateful he doesn't have to work weekends, too). Things are usually crazy for 6 months of every year, but when summer time rolls around, things start to slow down and we love to spend more time together as a family. I just have to think, on days when he doesn't come home until midnight, and into bed until 2 a.m., where would I be without him?
A visit with Rosie and Austin!

I feel for you! Life isn't quite as crazy for me as it is for you (I at see my husband a little bit) but I know what it's like to have so much going on AND be pregnant. It's all very overwhelming. Way to have a good attitude about it all. Just remember it won't be forever, right? (Hey, can I put your blog as a link on the PHS blog?)
Kat, I sure do miss you! I hope that someday you guys move this way a little closer so that we can see you more than once a year. I also feel for you. I see my hubby more than you do yours and I can't imagine how you do so much parenting by yourself. I admire you for doing what you're doing and for being such a great wife and mother! I know the blessings will come tenfold to you for being so diligent!
Thanks for the comments on my blog too. I'm glad we both had the experience of being "moms" to the boys for a while. I love you!
I'm glad that you stopped in. Your family is really cute. it is fun reading about your life. Your girls are adorable. Congrats on #3!
Your life in CA sounds remarkably like my life in NYC. (Seriously -- the long commute, the dad-less dinners, the doctor's appointments, the pregnancy fatigue, crazy church callings, etc, etc.) It's rough -- super rough. And exhausting. And lonely. But it makes those rare quiet moments so much more enjoyable. Hang in there!
Kat, It sounds like you lead a crazy life! I'm glad you have such a good attitude. You are a fabulous Mom and are so lucky that you get to be home with your girls and watch them grow. Good luck with number three and everything else! We'll have to visit next time I'm in Cali or you're in SLC. Love you!
Kathryn, I didn't realize you have a blog! I am so glad I found it! I can't believe how big the girls are!
Oh, I'm glad you commented on my blog because I'm set up to "follow" you, but for some reason I didn't see that you had posted recently. Anyway,I kind of know what it's like--remember my pregnant summer with no Spencer? But you still win. You've put up with this for so long! You are so patient and loving. Keep it up. I wish we were in the same state. Oh, and yes, your blog certainly is cuter than mine. Oh, and one more thing, that story about McKenna asking Ambyr to kiss her bum is so cute, but I just can't believe McKenna can talk that much!
