Okay, so life with three is just a little crazy. In fact I frequently find myself starting blogs that never get finished or published!
As I type this fine Saturday afternoon, Ray is at work, Brooklyn is running errands with her grandparents, Grayson is napping (the's been running a low fever for the last few days, poor guy!), and Madi is practicing her tummy time surrounded by the baskets of laundry that I've been meaning to finish folding and put away for the last two days.
We are six weeks out (from the birth) and overall things are good. My wound prognosis is very good. I don't even have any more appointments on the calendar, just instructions to make sure the area stays clean and dry, and the reminder not to overdo it with the heavy lifting. My six week postpartum check up is next week and I fully expect to come away with a clean bill of health and a prescription for birth control!
August looks to be an exciting month for us. Ray opens Avenue Q. He's been practicing with his puppet at home, and I am so impressed. I never cease to be amazed by his talent! Brooklyn will start first grade at Cornerstone - a major life change for all of us. I'm very excited to get into our routine,to start digging in to the curriculum, and to find our niche in the Cornerstone community. Already one of the parents has organized a play date so our first graders can get to know each other! Grayson will also be starting preschool two days a week. I don't think kids under four need a preschool experience, but in our specific case the circumstances are right. I am confident Gray will enjoy the activity and it will give me time on those mornings to really focus on Brooklyn's school work. CYT will start August 20th, and though I was hoping not to teach, just coordinate, I'm getting excited about it all over again! I am praying for the kids who will sign up - that we will have enough, and that these 10 weeks will be meaningful to them as artists and followers of Christ.
So that is where we are at, what we are gearing up for. Life is a little chaotic, but I'm feeling good.

Sun in the sky...you know how I feel! Breeze drifting on by...you know how I feel. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me...and I'm feeling good!
