"I must be one of the wonders..."

Day 5 of Spring Break, 09 - The Joads arrive :) The Joads arrived on the Wednesday of our Spring break and it was awesome. Thy drove the motor home down with Gma J who is a bit fragile these days. It was such a special gift to have them make the long trip to see us! Buck reading his new Superhero magazine to Thunder
Grandma J with the newest grandchild.

I have spent the last 5 minutes checking facebook and reading my favorite "mom-blogs" - there are only a few and one that I'm loving is by a woman named Arwen Moshen who has a 3 month old baby. She writes a bit about how much she HATES the first 3 months (the "fourth trimester" it's called a lot) of a baby's life. The confusing crying, the uncontrollable gas and the lack of routine. "Did I mention the lack of sleep?" Although I'm not postpartum, I have to say that I agree about the lack of fun of these last 2 months. I am waiting with baited breath for the 1st of May when Thunder will be 4 months. The "sleep through the" nights, we like to call them.
