1. The weekend
It was a whirlwind and it was wonderful. Mike and I were both looking forward to a few chore-free hours. It was nice to sit and have full blown family time without weeds, laundry, and extra responsibilities. After the Tball game we drove to Columbus. We were back in Indy within 24 hours but it was a great night with family. Granny and the Moller family met all three boys and then the next morning we swam at the hotel pool. I think that I might of eaten a pound of bacon in 24 hrs...but who doesn't love bacon.
**Yes, this is how much we packed for one night.**
Cameron is an INSANE mover when he sleeps. I snapped this picture right as he started to move again.
2. First day back was SUCCESSFUL
Today was my first day back from maternity. Having Mike home made my transition extremely smooth and successful. He takes such great care of me.
3. Free Food
We had Scotty's for lunch today at work. I am sure you can see the rolls in the background of some of these pictures --- yes --- the free food is BACK. Tonight we had Mac-N-Cheese, grilled chicken, green peppers (those were from home), and fried pickles for dinner. It was quick, easy, and cost $1 for the pepper!
4. Jack is 3 months
Our sweet baby Jack turned 3 months today.
These past three months have been somewhat of a blur. If I had to describe Jack briefly I would say: He only cries if he is tired, hungry, or has a dirty diaper. He loves to smile. He can't hold his head up perfectly but is able to roll onto his back during tummy time. He sleeps through the night but we start our night at 730 so he wakes up around 330 or 4. He loves to suck on his hand and he prefers to be held. He is our sweet baby Jack.
5. Owen changed a diaper
Owen is slowly falling in love with Jack. Let me emphasize...slowly. Owen has been honest in his reservation and apprehension about Jack being part of the family. He has never been mean or had ill-will but instead just hesitation and the desire for our lives to go back to "normal." As the weeks have turned into months he has started loving on his little brother. Tonight he even asked to change Jack's diaper. I am always impressed with his thoughtful, insightful soul.
I had to add it. I have a love/hate relationship with rulers. Last year during this time Mike and I were thinking about starting a new business. We worked with Erin on May 16th on creating a logo and website ...the next day she was in her accident and after she passed away, so did our small idea of extra income. Last week we pulled out our left over stash and started to sell again. We were not going to make anymore -- just get rid of the ones that we have. Well, I over sold. So now we have to make more. This is EASY PEASY money. It's not much...but it's easy. And right now, with our family being supported on a part-time nursing career, money is always great to have in hand.
