Also, I think I've finally made the move toward the next season of life and I want to document it so I can know, if and when we ever have another baby, what to prepare for :) I feel like right after you have a baby, there is literally NO time for yourself (a mom), or anything you used to participate in, or your husband and family and friends. It feels like a very 'no give and all take' time, because when Savannah got here I found myself needing all the help I could find. I enjoy giving and doing things for other people and my church. I also love, more than I realized, time to get ready for the day. I like making brownies for my staff and sending a card to my grandparents and getting a treat for my kitties, but I have just had no time to do those types of things until very recently. So: I painted my nails this week for the first time since S was born. I had my sister and brother in law over for a dinner I cooked from scratch. I sent mail to lots of my older relatives. I made 4 batches of pumpkin bread for neighbors and S's teacher. It feels good to be moving into a new season in life with Savannah. I love having her more than anything and I hope she grows to want to give her time and love too.
I would also like to note that if S hadn't been so colicky for so long, I imagine (and hope) that this new season would have come a lot sooner than 9 months. But maybe I'm wrong. ?? Maybe it just comes with increased independence as mobility develops for your child. Hmm...
This weekend I'm off to start on the 10+ projects I've thought of with my new-found somewhat freedom. That's the only bad thing about this new season... :) happy Friday!

A so very sweet beautiful bundle !!
You and Birc have been/are giving us the greatest gift of all : sharing the joy that is Savannah Cate!
A very yummy dinner it was, too. :) Keep up the great work in and outside your home. Remember that raising an awesome, giving, happy kid is pretty important, too.
