The summer wind came blowing in...
Alright, so it's now 9:30pm and I got here at 9am. The boys were ansy all day, they kept bugging each other a lot. I had less patience too since I've been working more and getting less sleep. I often wonder how much patience I will have for my own kids. Gabe and I have been talking about not having kids. I think that will change, but I still have a lot of doubts. They say it takes a village to raise a child, I don't have a village so maybe I could help someone else's village. My reasons for having kids seems kind of egotisic; to create life, to know what it was all about, but really, the world is quite overpopulated as it is and I'm kind of scared of being a bad parent. I fly off the handle, take things too seriously, and get tired out easily. These will not get better will children.... But they look so darn cute! I compeletly blame Blaise for the cute factor

Yikes, April! Choosing not to have kids for fear that you might be a bad parent is a terrible reason. No kids would be born if everyone followed that path. Overpopulation: pooie! Adopt. Village: if you'll be helping someone else's village, you'll be a part of one... suggesting that you will have a village to help raise your children.
When I met Blaise, it was like looking into the face of God. When a child walks down the road, a company of angels goes before him proclaiming, “Make way for the image of the Holy One.” - Hasidic saying
Get some rest.
From seeing how wonderful you are when you are with Blaise I am 100% positive you should have children. For me it clicked all of a sudden, it was like I went from not wanting kids yet to wanting them overnight:) And they are just so amazing because they are half of you and half of the man that you love! I have to echo Zaak too, that I have better understanding of God since having my babies. Plus for purely selfish reasons I have to add that my kids need some cousins already!!! They're going to be way to spoiled by everybody if they don't get some competition:)
