7 weeks old


Elisha turned 1 month a bit more than 2 weeks ago. She is such a cute little girl, gentle, calm, and pretty! With her, I feel like time is passing by too quickly. Inevitably, with Jonathan still under 2 (20 months) years old, I end up spending most of the time with him while my wife looks after her day-to-day needs (feeding!).

Older parents around us keep on saying all the hard work of parenting is worth it. I don't know. This is a tough gig, and I guess all I can wish for is that it all pays off, somehow, sometime in the future. Otherwise the whole thing is pretty hopeless really. I love them to bits, no question about that. But loving them doesn't mean I can't admit it's difficult to function day to day, to juggle between chores, work, play, looking after them... etc. (My wife will not like this, she doesn't even feature on the top three on this list...... my bad).
