Jude skipped easily over the first birthday milestone yesterday, somewhat enjoying his cake, but very much enjoying his balloon and happy birthday dance. There were no presents (from the immediate family– Mamaw and Papaw brought one by, though!), we didn’t even get to go to church (making sure we’re 100% clear of a nasty strep infection that hit 8 of us this week), and it stormed for the better part of the morning.
In short, it was a lovely way to kick off the next four weeks, which will be chock full with Christopher traveling to Myanmar, three more birthday boys, and The Great Purge of 2016– in which I plan to ruthlessly cull the bits of plastic that keep creeping into the childrens’ playroom (how??!) and make sure we’re still operating a tight ship, possessions-wise, in preparation for our move.
May is going to be amazing, I can feel it. June? Even better. And July? Well… God willing, it will be best of all.
