emerging from the fog.

amazing how when you are in a fog, you don't know exactly how thick it is until you come to the other side. then you can look back and realize exactly how foggy it was.....

like when your husband donates a kidney.
it was six weeks ago yesterday.
definitely a fog.

hubbie is back to work full time.
he went for his first jog.
and is feeling pretty normal.... just gets tired every once in a while.

i guess i am feeling pretty normal too.
the house is cleaner.
i feel less frayed.
and i am sitting down to blog..... life is returning to normal.

last week we celebrated a six-year-old birthday.
with mimi and mr. denny to join the festivities.

we had breakfast at chuck *e* cheese.

a family day into manhattan (including playing hookie from school).

and friends teach us how to make sushi rolls in the comfort of our own home.

plus pokemon cake. does it get better?!


happy birthday, peanut!
....and happy birthday, uncle bud.
the big 3-0!!!
you are loved.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
