My grandmother is flying in tonight to be here for Nathan’s birthday which means:

IT IS ALMOST HIS BIRTHDAY.

I’m in shock. Wasn’t I just praying that I would go into labor on my due date? Which, one year ago, was tomorrow??

Today has already been a fun day! Nathan slept VERY late today, thanks to a later bedtime after community group last night, and so we went and met my sweet friend Eryn and her precious baby Eve at Chick-Fil-A for an early lunch.

And, it’s Cow Appreciation Day at CFA today. If you dress like a cow, you get a free meal at CFA. So….I present the baby cows!

I love this picture! Eryn is WAY creative and made Evie’s bows and skirt. Seriously. With her own hands.

And, if you can believe this, I actually colored on Nathan’s onesie. With my own hands. I didn’t even trace those spots or anything. 😉 Ha! We had such a fun lunch today! Excited for a fun night tonight with Nathan’s great-grandma!!

Thank you so much for your prayers! Nathan stopped running a fever on Thursday and by Friday night, his rash was completely gone. And he is back to sleeping through the night and taking his normal naps. Thank you, God! 🙂

We had a great weekend. Jon had Friday through Monday off, so we spent the entire weekend playing, sleeping, relaxing and swimming. Jon and I both got sunburned being productive – a.k.a. washing the cars and Nathan got to eat chocolate pie for the first time:

I think this might be what he’ll look like in 30 years with a goatee. 🙂

He also got to stay up WAY WAY WAY past his bedtime and watch the fireworks display last night. We are in the midst of a horrendous drought, so most private fireworks displays were banned this year, but the annual city one still happened. We set out chairs on my parents’ driveway and watched. We could see the fireworks, but were far enough away that we couldn’t hear the noise. Nathan spent the whole time laughing, dancing, pointing and saying “OOoo!” He was a little hyper last night. That chocolate pie might have had something to do with it.

Today, we’re running birthday party errands! What did you do for the 4th?? I hope you had a safe, fun weekend!!
