brace yourself.

this isn’t going to be pretty.

L had two breath holding spells today
(which he hasn’t done in 6+ weeks).
i think they are tooth related.

my parents’ little dog, Bella,
seems to have eaten the the fillings of a #2 diaper of L’s.

during my annual womanly exam,
i was graced with the presence of a non-napping-but-fussy,
L on my lap for the entire thing.
Auntie B said she’s just glad it’s not
embrace the camera thursday.
hysterical.

i was home for about 22 and a half minutes all day.

and to top it all off, i just went to the bathroom for the third time.
today.

you better believe i’m going to treat myself
to one of the most delicious homemade desserts
from one of the sweetest gals i know.


a humongous ice cream sandwich.
don’t worry, i’m not going to eat the entire thing tonight.
it wouldn’t be possible anyway,
because i’ve already eaten a few slices of it the past couple of days.
so don’t worry, i’m not going to eat the rest.
well, actually, i am,
just not tonight.
oh, nevermind.

i can’t leave it on that note, alone.
so, here are some more nice pictures.

mostly, to help you forget all of the horror
that i previously etched into your mind.


here is sweet L with his Grammy.
(i can’t really get away with calling him little anymore, can i?)


and here he is working out.

therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,
and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1

and now, onto the blessings.

191. dinner so graciously provided by my parents
192. my parents, who watch most of my children when i can’t be here
193. receiving sweet packages tied up with pink ribbon from K
194. spending time with just D
195. the promise that it’s a picture of a bird
and not a real bird that D is bringing home from preschool
