So, we haven't posted much since Julian was born, mostly for the obvious reason of needing to attend to the many pressing tasks associated with having an almost-three-year-old and a newborn. As most people would safely assume, there are mountains of laundry to do and snacks to be doled out and skinned knees to kiss and baby smiles to be cajoled.
On top of all that fun stuff - and most of it truly is fun - we've had some not-too-serious but not-so-fun complications that we're opting to commemorate here for the sake of posterity. Without going into every last detail, the gist is that strep throat came to visit, T returned to work, I had a relapse in post-delivery healing, and it rained a lot. This video, filmed so that T could see what he was missing at home, captures the feeling that prevailed for many of the weeks following Julian's birth.
Thankfully, we can report that we have all recovered our health and optimism, as you can see.
