Jan. 31: Our week is going really well. This period between when I stopped work and the baby arriving is a lot of fun. Andrew and I have been enjoying outings or visiting with friends in the morning and then napping (or not) and making dinner in the afternoons. Right now, the little fellow is in his bed reading books out loud. And today, that’s alright with me as long as he is cheerful this afternoon/evening:)
Bryan’s mom arrives in just two days. She’ll be here with us until Feb. 16…hopefully the little one will make her entrance on or before her due date so that Andrew can enjoy an extra adult’s loving attentions for a while. If not, we’ll just roll with that situation too:)
We got together with my neighbor, Kathy, and her daughters, Alivia and Rayna yesterday. Andrew had a great time and was talking about what we did at their house for the whole rest of the day. This morning, we met Jessica, Eli, and Celia at the library for some play time, and then we went to Manna Cafe for lunch with my co-workers. It feels so nice to spend time with friends. I really miss seeing my Gathering Waters pals every day, and my heart feels a little cozier for having shared a meal with them today.
Hope all is well in your world!
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
