Day 1.3

Today was a pretty good day. Probably, again, because I didn't try to do too much (indeed, I am still in my pajamas). The kids seemed a little better behaved for my mom, and I was able to get some rest today. The back/leg situation is about the same, but I was able to get my bowels back on track, which helped my stomach feel less off.

Besides my sister-in-law Sarah getting married (Brittney gets home tomorrow!!), my brother Thom and his wife Brittany welcomed a new baby boy to their family today. His name is Graham Foster, and he looks like a cutie from pictures.

Gwen has been just out-of-this-world adorable today. She will walk by my room, see me lying on my bed, and say "Hi!" repeatedly. Then she runs in and says "Up!". Once I lift her onto my bed she gives me a huge hug and buries her face in my chest repeatedly. A few times she has wanted to read a story or something too. I am just overwhelmed by her love and adorableness. It makes me sad that everyone doesn't have a little girl like that in their house to pick them up whenever they are down. Not that I have been down, but I also couldn't have been, not with her pervasive cuteness. I am one lucky daddy.
