***************************************

Happy, happy 4th of July everyone!

I hope that you are having a good one.

I witnessed a small miracle this weekend when all 4 of us:

me, my husband, almost 3 year old, and my newborn

a.) got clean at the same time

b.) got ironed and dressed.

c.) got out of the house

d.) took pictures at the park.

Granted it took begging, pleading, cajoling, and

making empty promises about my forever-indebtedness,

but we did it!

My sweet mom came along to take our pictures.

Jack is in a

Don't look at me!

phase

So I knew it was risky,

but once we ignored him,

he came around quick.

Josh and I are doing great.

He sleeps and eats and sleeps and eats.

He is just pure sweetness.

It's weird. We're kind of waiting for the other

shoe to drop & for chaos to break out.

With my first pregnancy my recovery was brutal.

Recovery the second time around has
 been strangely wonderful. I feel good.

I have more energy than I have had in 9 months.

I feel like a new woman.

Please remind me of this blog post

when Darryl goes off to work in a couple weeks

and my parents go on a 3 week trip overseas.

So, I hope you are having a wonderful long weekend with

your family and lots of barbequed carnage and greasy potato salad.

That's what we'll be doing.
