By the time both girls were school-aged, Maize and I were expecting our third child. This time it is a little boy. Maize was on Cloud Nine when he found out he was having a son. He loves his girls to pieces, but he's always wanted a son, like most men do.
You would think it was our first with how excited he was for the new baby. It's pretty funny, actually.
Baby #3 came fast and furious. Within hours of starting labor, Ctiron was born.
Like the girls, he grew like a weed. He became an active little toddler, largely resembling his father.
With our little family growing so quickly, sometimes it's hard to stop and breathe. We spend our evenings together on the couch watching television, and just enjoying each other's company. For the time being, we are not planning on having any more kids, since we have our hands full. I have no idea how my grandmother made it with 5 young kids really close in age.
Dad passed away not long after Citron hit toddlerhood. Everyone took it pretty hard, but it affected Mom most of all.
To get her mind off of him, she poured all of her affection into her grandchildren.
