Beat of our own drum

I recently laughed with friends about how raising a young family can be so unpredictable. At the drop of a hat- all hell breaks loose, leaving you surround by chaos, wondering- what just happened? Did I miss the freak out memo?

Yup. We laughed about it. It's not really all that funny, most of the time.

So this past week, all hell broke loose at my house. But it was the good kind. Birthday party, business was busy, meeting for kid's camp this summer, snuggling a cute new baby...






YES. I HELD A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (My entire family just fell from their chairs.)

Other than my own and my niece, this is the only other newborn I have ever held. It took courage I tell you. I started to get sweaty and the chills as I we got closer to their house.

But he is so darn CUTE!



And cuddly! He really does like to cuddle. And he looks just like his Mommy.





My husband started snapping pictures immediately. But I didn't think to take a single one of him. Sorry, Dan.

I really enjoyed our visit. So happy for our friends to finally have their baby boy in their arms.
