The last couple weeks have been really hard due to Grace's teething and subsequent cold, not to mention her waking up many times at night. Stella went through a rough patch of waking up in the night, too. There have been lots of tears in the last few weeks (mine and the girls), and a general feeling of disconnectedness between Brett and me, so this extended weekend has been so lovely for our little family, and we have a date night planned for the 12th. I have felt so incredibly down recently, and I think most of it is due to lack of sleep. I am not the type of person who can function well on little sleep.

Here are some of the better moments that have happened in the thick of the more challenging stretches:
 |
| I love these little hands! |
 |
| Grace inherited my crooked toes |
 |
| A bit over the top, but I appreciate what they're saying |
I am always so grateful for the little breaks of grace in the midst of the hard weeks of loneliness, sickness, and tiredness.
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
I'm so sorry you've had so little sleep these past few weeks, Sarah! I don't do well with little sleep either. I hope Gracie's teething starts getting better soon! Love, Bethany
