I hit the lottery! Three times! With odds like that, I should head to Vegas. Seriously, I am humbled every day by my good fortune. I've been given the most precious gift.........three times! I can't believe I get to know each of these children from the very moment they enter the world, spend each day with them, see their triumphs and hug them through their difficulties........it's breathtaking. I'm asked all the time, "What's it like with three? How are Lizzy and Peter doing?" I think people expect me to answer that things are awful, it's crazy, Lizzy and Peter want to ship the baby to the moon. We have moments like that, for sure. It is crazy, it is chaotic, but there is such beauty in that messiness. Such moments of love and friendship, companionship and teamwork, synchronicity. Sometimes it feels like a roller coaster ride, complete with the exhilarating highs, the wild turns where your stomach drops, the frightening anticipation of what's around that turn. It's the best journey I've ever been on! When old ladies stop me and say stuff like, "Enjoy these days, they go quickly!" or "Believe it or not, these are the best days of your life!" with a knowing smile and a touch of sympathy, I always answer with a big smile, "Don't I know it!" Because I do......I get it.....in the most profound way, how truly wonderful these days are.
