... flies by too fast. Four weeks of term have passed by, Joel is enjoying his new nursery school and Emily is adjusting to life in Year One. 
We have had a busy time trying to adjust as a family of five. At times life is just one big mess, yesterday as I took the washing out of the machine, a tissue had been put in, ( in MY pocket), I said in despair, " I want a new life!" it was the tissue that broke the mummy's back! It is currently tricky to do things that were once simple, like go to the park. It is hard to push two children on the swings whilst trying to feed a 3 month old. It is hard to make tea whilst playing trains, making Hama beads and protecting a 3 month old on a play gym from raining beads or bashing trains! It is exhausting getting three children out of the car to do the school run, on a rainy Wednesday morning, with two carrying umbrellas, a blanket draped over a car seat and a mummy with a hood!
Emily has started ballet at a local ballet school so that trek across town is so much smaller, she enjoys dancing with her classmates. She is enjoying learning to read and is looking forward to swimming lessons starting up again on Friday. She currently has a conker collection of 16 and it grows daily.
Seth is well, his lip and wound improves daily. We massage it 4 times a day despite his shouting! He is a noisy chap who had to sit at the back of church today as he was interacting too much with Diego's sermon.
Well, I think that is enough insight into our lives, we are well, happy and adjusting. Not long till half term and a rest from the school run.

It is great that our breakfast table is now a squash with Seth in his clip on chair. 
It is fun to play family football with Jamie and Seth in goal. It is reassuring to hear Emily and Joel singing 'Twinkle, Twinkle' in the back of the car trying to comfort their hungry brother on the way back from school.

His work load is pretty heavy and it isn't helped by rushing home to help with tea and bedtime. Work starts again at 7.15 pm when we pray for quiet from upstairs.
