Fun in threes

Good things come in threes, or is that bad things??? Whatever the tale, we had three good things come our way this weekend. The first two good things come from beloved friends sharing good news with me.

One friend announced she will be getting married, how lovely for a new fresh start. Good luck and believe.

A different friend shared with me that she and her husband are newly pregnant. Hhhmm...the wonder of a new life. Breathe slow and drink it all in.

The third good thing came through Maeve, as good things in my life often do these days. Maeve and I were called this morning by our lovely midwife, Ingrid, to see if we would join her at a birth. Mark is gone this weekend, off with the corals and our car, so I warned Ingrid I came as a package deal. The birth we were heading to was to be the 5th baby for the couple. We figured Maeve certainly could blend into the chaos that is 4 children mulling around. Chloe, who is now the second youngest, is just 2 months older than Maeve and she is walking. Maeve was fascinated with Chole in a, "wow" sort of way. Chloe was fascinated with Maeve in a "I'm finally not the youngest" kind of way. Watching Chloe walk definitely had Maeve intrigued. As she stood unsupported, as she is doing more and more of these days...along with baby pliƩs (aka baby squats), she took a step towards Chloe. She looked a bit unbalanced and perplexed so soon let her self down to the floor.
