I added this pictures last night but not writing the post until today. I am exhausted with piles of stuff to do but my wonderful husband usually does most of it so that makes me pretty lucky.
1. Mike
Holy what an amazing man for our family. I can't say enough about how grateful that I feel that he is part of this team. He works so hard making sure that the four of us are safe and happy. He is an amazing step dad and new daddy to baby Jack. He is my encourager and my number one fan.
A few things about this picture...first, there are a LOT of different patterns. It is a lot for the eye to take in. Second, this was Jack's first bottle. I have been having issues with him feeding and then pumping and supply vs demand and on and on.... anyways we tried a little bit from a bottle. It was successful though we decided to stay away from that route for awhile.
2. The boys
Our super wild, extremely flexible little/big ones. They have been very good (since the manners have started to be reinforced) and very easy for us. I am sure the change to the household is not easy for young souls (especially Owen) but I have been continually impressed with their resilience and love for each other, baby Jack, and our family. Mike and I are working on very little sleep so I am sure that we are not as pleasant or as patient as usual. Grateful that these boys have given us some slack and still make our home loud, wonderful, and full of love.
3. Free Food
Those that know me well know for my love of food and love of free things. When you have a new addition to the house people bring over food in mass quantities. It is pretty awesome. Not only that but people are bringing over stuff that I am actually craving. Strange. Like Costco Mac and Cheese, Deep Dish pizza, and salad. Yum. Now to write all the thank you notes.....
4. Healing
I am continually healing from surgery. I feel MUCH better today than yesterday and MUCH better than the days before that. I was pretty miserable. Glad things are getting better.
5. Shower
This morning I had a shower. I was able to actually do it all myself including get dressed and not have extreme incisional pain. I feel like a new woman. I am out of those terrible grey pants and back in my yoga pants. I know....surprising. We also got out of the house today for a weight check and quick trip to the store. Feeling successful.
Sawyer's 5th birthday party. We were not able to go but grateful the my parents took the boys. They had a blast and then went straight with grandpa Pat to her hotel to watch movies and play in the pool. They were super spoiled and slept great that night!
6. 40th Wedding Anniversary
My parents celebrated their anniversary this weekend. Last year Erin and I discussed trying to do something like a surprise party or similar for them but as everything played out this past year that became pushed onto the back burner. A few weeks ago I realized that nothing was planned but something still needed to happen in order to celebrate such a wonderful thing. SOOOOO last weekend Mike and I picked up a St. Elmo's gift card and made them a reservation. On Saturday evening Mike picked them up and drove them downtown and then set up Uber on my moms phone so we could pick up the cab on the way back home as well. I think that they had a lot of fun (at least they say that they did). Cheers!!
