ramblings ... 2 weeks later

So as it turns out, trying to live my life as normally as possibly minus my foot is hard work. Most days I haven't even had a chance to turn the computer on, much less blog. I've had help. Tons of help. But we are still just keeping up if you know what I mean.

The great thing about kids is that - at least for me most of the time - I don't have a chance to feel sorry for myself. Like last night, the weather was perfect and I wanted Dominic to take Juliet to go see the Christmas lights at a local church/college that goes all out. Well, as I was bundling her up, I just really wanted to go to. I wanted to see her face light up when they drove up and her running around in excitement through the lights. But, it would have been too much so B and I stayed home.

I was bummed. For about 30 seconds. I mean how often do I get an hour with my little Beetle all to myself?!? We sang the same song over and over again, tickling and giggling each time. She got to take a bath all by herself. We read books. I held her. And treasured not having any distractions. Such a sweet sweet life. If we can just open our eyes to see it.

Juliet's report of the lights was as follows:
Me: Juliet how was it???
J: It was GREAT!!!!

That pretty much sums it up. She has been saying that she's going back tomorrow. She's apparently made plans I don't know about :)

B took her first real good steps (only a few) when Dominic and Juliet got home. She walked from the chair in the playroom to Dominic a couple of times. I blog about this realizing that it could still be another month before she walks, but still a notable milestone I guess.

A few photos. Dominic and the girls before he and J left:
