03:00 hours: #2 wakes from his slumber, whining and squawking like a little bird.
05:30 hours: #2 is lulled to sleep by his mothers' breast, lying in bed. Mother has waved white flag and surrendered.
07:00 hours: #1 is woken from slumber early by some act of Satan.
Fast forward approximately 12 hours
20:00 hours: #2 falls perfectly asleep at care group meeting. Father is in charge of #1. Mother has cup of coffee and cake.
20:45 hours: #2 awakens from perfect slumber, and refuses to retire. #1, who is in same room, insists on asking for snack and water, making #2 wake completely from state of semi-slumber.
22:00 hours: After putting #1 back in bed twice, and #2 being awake since the beginning of time, the Briscoe's travel home from care group meeting.
22:15 hours: MB (aka Mama Briscoe) is bitten on the shoulder by teething #2, and she cries. Cries like she hasn't since approximately eight months ago, during the exiting process of #2, between shouts of "This is the worst moment of my life!".
Thank goodness God's mercies are new every moment, and He gives me the strength, love and patience for each new day.
'Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him'
Psalm 127:3
That is such a great picture of the two of them!
