The last two weeks have been filled with long happy days. We have hosted two birthday parties for B at our house: the first for family and the later for friends. We attended Molly's first-birthday party and had a nice visit with my siblings and mom at the farm. We took treats to both kids' classes and survived both having various kids of illnesses. We've had B's well-child visit + shots and long swimming classes. I baked five cakes and approximately 11 dozen cookies. I co-hostessed my sister-in-law's adorably cute baby shower. This included making by hand 12 fun favors and pre-fabibing a scrapbook kit for assembly at the shower. We have played in gorgeous 75 degree, picniced in the back yard, weather and shivered as winter returned.
We did all this while working our normal jobs and doing all those normal things we do in ordinary times. We have cleaned, cooked, scrubbed, crafted, wrapped, snuggled, shopped and sighed. Brent's birthday is Tuesday and will be a quieter celebration than all this. As we near the end of the swirl, we are happy, tired, and so blessed to have such an incredible group of friends, family, colleagues, and teachers. Thanks to all of you that shared in our celebrations. We are tired, happy, and so very blessed.
