Now that I am pregnant with my fourth, I am suddenly worried about being able to give each child the attention that they need! I find it hard already with three. I have heard of people that will take each kid out individually once a month so that that child feels of their love for them. I would love to do that, but I feel like that is a little too much for me to do these days. However when the opportunity presents itself, I've promise myself to take full advantage of it, as does Matt. He does it a bit better than I do actually.
Well thanks to my parents I did have an opportunity to have a date night with my little Zacky. (side note: just yesterday I heard Zack telling Curtis that when he was a baby his name was Zacky and now it's just Zack!)
I was able to take Zack to see the Lippizaner Stallions a few weeks ago. Others that attended were, Heather and Scott, Jared and Sarah, Stac and Natalie, my Parents, and grandparents, and Aunt Lisa and Uncle Paul. And here are some pictures:
My cute date
This horse did an amazing jump, I caught the beginning of it. They were really big horses.
The horses were so well trained this is them walking diagonally. I couldn't figure out how to take good pictures in that lighting, can you tell? :)
It lasted a bit too long for this cowboy! He is such a sweetheart! I love him to death and am grateful to have had a date night just with him!

I read this and it reminds me when I had all the little ones home. There is a lot to juggle!
I thought I would let you know what we have done. I think we failed miserably with the date thing on a regular basis. Somehow things got in the way that weren't as important? Regrets? We all have them.
Try to cut life into bite size pieces and enjoy the little day to day things. That's probably why I blog everyday. It is easy to look back on a year and think we didn't do anything, but actually we did little things everyday that seem insignificant until you add them all together. Cook & bake with each one, fold laundry one on one, go for a walk in your pjs around the neighborhood at night, bedtime talks. Just make your daily chores more fun. Talk, laugh, listen and just enjoy regular day to day times together.
It's easy to get overwhelmed. Lower your bar around the house, take a deep breath and focus on the little things.
Love you! Brenda
