We have been going through quite a few “firsts” around the
Collett household. This was my first full week back to work, our first nights
alone just the five of us, Tony had his first solo doctor visit with both kids,
and tonight we embark on the first week Tony and I will have just us and the
kids. This will be our new “normal”, so we spent some time this weekend working
out a schedule and trying to frame up what we’re hoping we can each get done in
a day.
We didn’t just sit around and work on schedules all weekend,
though, we did get out and have some fun. We went to the gym, spent some time
with friends, and even got a visit from Nana and Pop. The kids are enjoying
their play mat (as seen here) and Tony and I are getting a kick out of the
funny faces they make when they play with each other. We are also in awe of
little Jack- he has rolled over twice during tummy time- he is so determined to
flip himself over that he just kicks that leg and rocks his little body until he
gets where he wants to go.
We also spent some time working in the yard this weekend,
running with Abby, doing taxes, folding laundry, and washing a mountain of
bottles. In the midst of all the chores we tackled, there were some sweet
moments. Here’s what I came in to find Saturday morning; there is nothing that
makes me happier than seeing my little family all snuggled up together. Even
Abby was nestled down in her bed- a precious, quiet moment for all in our
house. Yes, it was a nice weekend and we
look forward to many more weekends filled with family, friends, and fun.
On a different note, the kids and Tony and I would like to
implore our prayerful friends to send up a prayer for my dad. He is having
surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30 to remove 4 tumors from his bladder. I think
everyone is still in shock that he has been diagnosed with another type of
cancer. Cancer is cruel and while I want to yell “this isn’t fair”, my dad has
reassured us all that he’s going to do what he has to do, and surgery is what
he has to do followed by some chemotherapy. So, if you are a prayerful person,
and you would pray for my father- Jack and Harper’s Pop- we would all greatly
appreciate it. Prayer is a powerful thing and we will take all the prayers we
can get. Thank you in advance.
