That makes two

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

⁹ Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. ¹⁰ If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. ¹¹ Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? ¹² A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Year 2. Check. A promise to honour, trust and love. A vow to close the back door and never open it. Of two lives becoming one. Sheet hogging, toothbrush stealing, coffee sharing, morning grumps. You get the whole package deal. :)

Love being married to this man. Our crazy adventures. 

 

Forver and always,

 Xx Me. 

 

Sick

When it rains, it pours. Someone wasn't joking when they started that saying! We're surviving our first downpour of sickness. Yourself being sick is one thing, your hubby being sick is something else, and your baby being sick is a whole new ball field. I want to sign a contract right now that we're never allowed to all get sick again! But I know that is not  very realistic of me. Maybe hire a nanny for the week the next time? Or a live-in doctor? Or my mom????? Mom, keen to come here next time we get sick?

I've learned one thing this week, my baby is a whole lot smarter than I thought. She can sniff Nurofen coming a mile away. She knows when I've tried to sneak Vit C in one spoonful of pumpkin and not the other. She has learned that blowing her nose is a necessary evil and crying isn't going to get her anywhere. Smarty.

It has all just confirmed my inability to save the world and my dependency on Papa God as He has us in his hands.

Here's to healthy and  happy Hylkema's.
