A Family Portrait
In the midst of my constant grumpiness, I got to thinking. It might only be a few days before the "three of us" turns into the "four of us".
So, as an ode to Audrey, my one and only for the past three years, we took some family portraits tonight.
I often wonder if we'll have enough love to spread around, if both kids will have their needs met, if they'll get along at all or if we'll constantly be breaking up fights.
Who knows. It could be the Fantastic Four or What the Hell Were We Thinking? Time will tell.
The last three years have been the absolute best of my life- thanks to you, Audrey.

tearing up. not as in shredding, as in eyes watering. it's interesting to follow your blog in its phases of pro- and anti- birth control, and don't think it doesn't strike a chord. i love you.
when did getting along or constantly breaking up fights ever become mutually exclusive? i have done both with great passion with my sister (mainly) and my mother and father and i wouldn't trade the experiences, good and bad, for anything. i know audrey rose will have a period of adjustment, like i know i did and you probably did when our little sisters were born, but let me tell you that having another baby will be the best thing in the world for her. who else will she turn to when her parents start aging and turning into total technotards who can't figure out how to work a damn cell phone or don't understand that they need DSL so they won't tie up their phone line for 8 hours after forgetting to turn off their dial-up modem?
you know from personal experience that el brown and i can knock it down and drag it out with one another, but i can't imagine how lonely my life would have been without the experience of having a baby sister. okay, i'm tearing up right now too as in eyes watering and i love all four of you so much.
thank you for your honesty and your beautiful presentations of family life from all angles. know how much love and good wishes you have from me, my sister and my parents.
What no paper bag for Audrey or baby?
GREAT portrait!
I wondered the same thing (will there be enough love to go aound) and I found out that there is plenty. You will love them both the same and you will love the both differently. It's hard to explain but you will fnd out soon enough.
I will be thinking of you in the coming days.
I can't stop laughing at the cat slinking out of shot on the right! (first photo)
Good luck for the upcoming weeks!
