Even though we won't know if Chase passed the bar until Thanksgiving, we are celebrating anyway. We are so happy to have Chase home with out any books, lectures, or note cards attached. We had a great week of just hanging out. We went to Cheesecake Factory the night he got home and and Chase got himself a celebratory coke...of course. The rest of the week we spent at the pool (way more fun when I can actually get in the water with Sadie), the park, and lots of walks.
Two amazing things happened this week. Sadie decided to be brave and after an entire summer of me coaxing her to go down the water slides at our pool, she finally mustered up some courage. There wasn't a slide she wouldn't go down. It was a very satisfying moment to see her having so much fun...and all on her own!!
Jack can now be turned around in the front pack. His neck is strong enough to be able to hold up his head and see the world around him. I love watching his eyes dart around and legs kick as he observes everything around him. He's also a total chunk. We took him to his two month appointment and he already weighs 13 pounds!!! I think most of the weight is in his cheeks.
I love having my family together again. I just feel extremely overwhelmed and blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. I love my kids and I LOVE Chase. What can I say? I'm still totally head over heels for him. I always appreciate him and all he does, but having him gone a whole week really set that appreciation in stone. A day with (or with out) him will never go unnoticed again.
