Last Thursday evening at Village Square Park. Get on the Facebook and check out « First Thursdays » in Stittsville. Hope to see you at the next one! #Stittsville #getinvolved #firstthursday

Took the kids to Arts in the park in #stittsville. Shaved *years* off purgatory. I consider that our family got « big » after I had my 6th child. Until Sarah was born, we were very adventurous with our children. We didn’t consider the size of our family to be an obstacle to going on adventures, eating out, traveling. Then we had Sarah and things got... complicated. Then we had twins and things became unmanageable. For the last 7 years, we have avoided going anywhere as much as possible, especially if it involved a crowd or the kids being tired, hot/cold or hungry. Maybe we got old too. But now that we’re back down to a young family of 5, we never returned to doing what we used to do when our 5 oldest were little. I still have minor panic attacks whenever I take my younger children anywhere. But I’m getting better. If you define « trauma » as a significant event that has a clear « before and after » in your life, you could say that having twins was definitely a trauma. To me especially, and to our family. Today we biked to Village Square Park and we handled ourselves quite well. Now I need a nap. And a drink. As my husband says when I can’t quite see the horizon: « They are getting older, not younger. » yeah. they are. phew.

20 years ago. We have barely changed at all.

Off to stomp old grounds. Thank you Lindsay for giving me the chance to help you out of a bind by doing what I love most in the world.
