Surrounded By Love

I am never alone in my house.  I use the bathroom with company, I shower with company and I pump while surrounded by my kiddos.  I scold myself whenever I start feeling claustrophobic because I know that someday I will desperately miss all of my babies being within arms reach (I'm still on the fence when it comes to the dogs, though. :-P)  I decided I want to photograph it for myself for when I do find myself with ample personal space again.  This is how it looks every evening around 545 when I am  pumping as dinner is finishing cooking...

I am seated on the floor next to the fireplace, with the babies in their infant seats for a feeding.  Sissy insists on sitting on my lap, preferably holding my hand and rubbing my thumbnail, while Emmy is on my left side. (She even has the audacity to ask me to scoot over so she can see her show better-to which I remind her that the entire couch is vacant.)

The dogs are behind me.

  2. I laughed out loud at Emmy asking you to scoot over once you finally get everyone situated. So funny. You seriously do an amazing job at stopping to soak in the little things among the stress of making it through your days.
