General Joel flew in on Monday night and was here until Thursday morning. It was great to see him and have his help while we were enjoying Olivia. In between cooking deconstructed guacamole and pizza, and working on chores around the house he was able to have a little fun here. There was “this is the dumbest game” of spades, a dangerous game of four square, and even part of a movie. We even had a chance to reminisce and swim a bit. Life is good and Joel helped make it a little better.

General So now life has drastically changed. Everyone said that it would and I know that it would but knowing it will change and experiencing it are completely different things. First of all I truly didn’t think that I would need help, but man was a wrong. Our house was beginning to look like a tornado hit it. Then my mother arrived. Wow what help between her and our friend Joel from MN the place now looks livable again. Grandma has done everything from cook and clean to changing dirty diapers and getting up with Olivia and I in the middle of the night. It is amazing to watch Olivia grow and change. She looks to me like she is at least twice as big as when she came home from the hospital (of course she is not that big.) I am curious to see what she weighs at her 2-week check up on Monday. There is one outfit that she has already outgrown:( She is now smiling, has managed to survive a couple of diaper changes without crying, and even made it through most of a bath without crying. Life just keeps on getting better and better!
