Life with Babies

The continuing story of Baron, Naomi, and their babies....
​

Laundry Day

With twins it seemed that very day was laundry day.  And everything had to be done by hand.
Picture
It was a lot of work for the maid, so Naomi helped as much as she could...
Picture
And Dominic would often come out to watch the babies.
Picture
He enjoyed spending time with his grandbabies....
Picture
"He's so good with them."
Picture
"Yes, he is."
Picture
"How is it going? If you have something else you need to do, then I can take over."
Picture
 "No, I don't have anything more important to do right now." and he turned to little Daniel, "Don't you agree?"
Picture
"I enjoy spending time with them."
Picture
Picture
"They grow up so fast."
Picture
So Naomi went back to helping with the laundry...
Picture
Picture
Picture
She kept thinking just how lucky her children were....
Picture
...to have such a loving grandfather...
Picture

More Visitors

Bianca was eager to visit Naomi and her babies again...
Picture
...and she brought all the girls with her.
Picture
"I hope this is a good time."
Picture
'Yes, the babies should be waking from their naps right about now."
Picture
Picture
"They are so beautiful."
Picture
"Would you like to hold one?"
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"I love babies." 
Picture
"Rex and I have been hoping for another child."
Picture
"But....it's just not happening."
Picture
"I'm so sorry."
Picture
Faye and Judith were more interested in the babies' toys...
Picture
But Lisa, Bianca's ward, loved babies.
Picture
"Would you like to hold him?"
Picture
Picture
Naomi was touched by Lisa's gentle demeanour.
Picture
But then, when Naomi had first met Lisa at Faye's birthday party last winter, Lisa had told her that she really missed her younger brothers and sisters, and especially the youngest baby.
Picture
Picture
"I'm wondering if you have found a position at court yet?"
Picture
"No, we haven't. And her mother isn't too pleased that it's taking this long."
Picture
Naomi had liked Lisa from the moment she first met her at Faye's birthday party.
​"How would you feel about taking a position here?"
Picture
"Really?"
Picture
"Yes.  I could use some help with the babies, and you are clearly very good with them."
Picture
"You would be their live-in Nanny."
Picture
"I would love that."
Picture
The other girls had been distracted by the toys...
Picture
...and finally turned their attention to the babies...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
When it was time for Bianca and the other girls to leave, Lisa wanted to stay, eager to start her new duties.
Picture
"Thank you for taking her.  Her mother will be pleased that she has finally found a position. I'll have her things sent later today."
Picture
Naomi introduced Lisa to Baron, and told him that she'd offered her the position of live-in nanny to help with the children.
Picture
Picture
"Thank you so much for offering me this position. I promise you won't regret it."
Picture
Baron was only too happy that Bianca had found someone to help with the children.  And Naomi knew it was going to be a beneficial arrangement, not only for herself, and her babies, but also for Lisa.

Afternoon Out on the Terrace

Naomi was really enjoying having Lisa around.
Picture
They were sitting up now, and not sleeping as much, ​and required much more attention.
Picture
So it was ever so nice having someone there all the time to help entertain them...

Life with Babies

It seemed that laundry was a never ending daily chore....
Picture
...but it was a huge relief having Lisa there to keep the babies entertained...
Picture
Still, Naomi didn't want to miss a minute...
Picture
So she would take a break every now and then to just sit and watch them.
Picture
They seemed to be growing up so fast...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
But then it would be back to folding laundry again...
Picture
Picture
Miho would often come and spend some time playing with her grandbabies...
