What a cute little bum. Isn't her little crack funny. It is a Y shape.

It is quiet on the homefront!
Two kids napping. How peaceful. It doesn't last long enough though. It would be even more peaceful if my house was in order, but alas, I am yet to figure out how to get much of anything done during the day. Now I admit, I have never been the neatest person--I tend to get distracted by what ever project I am working on, but I typically go to bed with a clean kitchen and make it through breakfast before the chaos sets in. Lately, however, I am too dang tired to care (enough) to get it cleaned up. Also, I am back to having a million baby gadgets all over the house--swing, car seat, blanket, burp cloths, binkies, laundry. You name it. I had forgotten how much stuff comes with a little one.
And, I had forgotten how good chips ahoy cookies are. My lil bro left a Costco size box at our house and I have had little restraint as I polished off the second package in a matter of days. Comfort eating, right. I think sometimes I eat because it is the only thing in my life that I can control at the moment and dang, it feels good to do that. I am usually not this way, but being tired takes out the willpower and makes me not really care. Actually, I think I am going to go get a couple more...writing about them makes me hungry for some. Last pack..thank heavens. You know sometimes it is easier just to finish whatever it is off so that you can alleviate the guilt that goes along with doing it. You know, when there is just one (rather large) piece of cake left and you can either eat it in a few pieces and feel guilty each time, or just eat it all at once, feel guilty and get it over with. Am I alone in this?
We had a successful trip to the splash pad today. Jackson loves it and it wears him out so he takes a long nap. Gotta love that. I tell myself that I am going to take him every day, but much of the time I can't get my act together.
I am having real issues with typing. Usually my brain works faster than my fingers, but today my fingers are moving a little too fast and my brain can't keep up. I am having to hit the backspace a lot.
Paige slept her first 5 hour stretch last night. I wish I had too, but it still gives me hope. Can you believe she is a month today. Time passes too fast (and yet not fast enough when I want to be sleeping through the night again.)
Got the majority of the baby announcements sent out. That is a relief.
Can't wait to see family for the holiday. It is always fun to get together with my siblings. I wish we lived closer, but I guess it is good we don't because I would have no reason to make non blood friends and that would be sad because I so enjoy my friends.
Well, seeing how I can't think of anything else even semi interesting to write about, I will write again another time.

Just a quick post to say "hi"
I have but two minutes before the dairy is back in service so I thought I would jot a quick entry. Life is crazy in the Shaw house. Everything is turned upside down and everything that was "normal" is a little less than that. I keep weird hours, eat weird things, sleep whenever I can, act like I am keeping house, try to be a good mom to a two year old and have some sort of relationship with my husband. It is amazing how I forgot what this time was all about. I mean, I can't even remember what I felt with Jackson. I am just glad that it won't last forever.
Then, at the same time the thought of my sweet little Paigie growing up makes me want to cry (or actually cry depending on the time of day). There is something so heavenly about a newborn. I wonder what she thinks and dreams. I wonder if she knows who I am and who her family is. I wonder who she will grow up to be. I don't doubt that the veil is thin for her. There is just something so amazing about being trusted with one of God's children.
So, I try to enjoy this time even though I run on auto pilot. And I realize that two years from now my memories will be really clouded and I might even consider doing it again.

Baby Blessing
We are going to bless Paige next Saturday, June 16th at 11:00am at my Grandma's. We are capitalizing on having both sets of grandparents here so that is why we are doing it so soon. We would love to have any family and friends come. We will have a little brunch afterwards.
