Remember this?
Ahhh, bed rest…the good ‘ol days. 🙂 It was on this day, one year ago, that we headed to the hospital because I was in pre-term labor with Samuel. Not fun. And the next 10 weeks that incurred were humbling to say the least. And yet, positive in so many ways. I look at cute, sweet Samuel who this morning was giving me big, open-mouthed kisses, and I know it was WELL WORTH IT. But difficult nonetheless. And it will probably be the last of my child-bearing experiences, sadly.
Today, I’m getting bids on landscaping. We’re hoping to spoof up the front yard a bit with rock borders and expanded beds. There’s a yard-of-the-month program in our neighborhood now. Derek thinks we’ll never get it…we’ll just see about that… 🙂
Samuel is not ONLY crawling, but gets up on his legs and is trying to stand and climb. Scary!
And speaking of scary. Have I mentioned what Derek bought for Jacob? It’s something he promised the boys they could have as soon as they’re 8.
And for all of the grandmothers who read this:
1. It is a BB gun.
2. Yes, it is hidden in an out-of-reach place when stored.
3. Yes, they do use protective eye gear.
4. They are only allowed to use it with adult, male supervision.
5. No, I’m not OK with it, but what choice do I have (I live in a fraternity house!).
6. Yes, I would recommend calling before you come over unannounced. 🙂
And with that in mind, you’ll know why I got a kick out of this article that Steve sent this morning.
And just to counter-balance all of the testosterone in my home, I’m working on this.
A quilt…just for me…with lots of pink in it.
