I'm just feeling a little discouraged today. I think folks tend to forget just how difficult it is to even get prepared to leave the house. Not that it's an excuse, a baby definitely doesn't mean that we can't live life and participate in activities, but it does limit some things. We really do need to be home, at the latest, by 8:00 PM unless you want to have a very cranky kid on your hands. Some days I just feel like I'm juggling our schedule and remembering where we all have to be at certain points throughout the day.
I've had people (who have nannies to watch their babies while they're out with friends) not understand why we haven't been to see a music show since Luke's been born. It's just hard... and I'm not sure if it's just Dillon and I haven't put the effort in to go out or if it's just the fact that we are utterly exhausted at the end of the day. We don't even like to watch the BBC version of "Sherlock" on Netflix because the episodes last 2 hours and we can't start an episode after 8:00 because we'll both miss the ending from falling asleep on the couch.
I promise, we aren't trying to ignore events or friends, or skip church for the 3rd time this month, or not go see live music in almost 2 years. Just give us time, we'll be back at some point (Luke may be 15 years old, but we'll get there).
Now onto cute pictures...
Our friends Jeff and Jamie joined us for dinner on Friday night with their little girl, Letty. They really took a liking to each other and held hands throughout dinner! |
He's found his favorite seat in the house, in between the cushion and foot rest on our recliner. |
The full moon through the trees in our front yard. |
Luke ready for church... |
He was tired and grumpy this morning, and did NOT want to have his picture taken |
