All's Well...

I can hardly believe that this year has gone so quickly. In less than a week now Tim will be home and we will start a new phase of our family life.

Fittingly, this last week has been a little more difficult, mostly I think because we are so anxious to have him back. Little to no sleep, Will being sick, sibling rivalry to the max, a series of rainy days, plumbing problems... Yesterday ended up being my crowning moment. We were so tired of being indoors that we decided to venture out into the sloppy muddy world and head back to our stream in the woods. In short I managed to take an ungraceful tumble (with Will in carrier on front) backwards then sideways down the muddied clay hill and almost ended up in the water were it not for Adam's help. I stood only to fall again, this time sprawling on my side...Just a few bruises and some sore neck muscles and possibly ruined Citizen jeans but thankfully Will's okay..

To their credit Natalie and Adam had only looks of concern whereas another would have found it funny, shortly after I certainly did. But it wasn't so funny to realize I had fallen smack on my phone and shattered the poor thing. So if anyone's trying to reach me blame it on the mud and my clumsiness and I'll get back with you soon...
