On the Bright Side

Happy things from the past week:

Jeff and I took turns going to the temple while the other watched Grant. It was such a good session for me! It was so nice to go back after not going for the previous 5 weeks.



These little gems that I made! What are they, you say? They are Wee Wee Wigwams, simple contraptions that prevent you from being doused by a golden fountain during diaper changes! I was saved just last night in the "wee" hours of the morning. Tried and true!


We drove up Alpine Loop and stopped to walk around Cascade Springs. LOVED the gorgeous fall colors and fresh mountain air!

We got this infant carrier at a garage sale two summers ago for $5. It works great! And Jeff got another job! He will be working at the BYU carpenter shop. Yay!

The outfit Jeff dressed Grant in...very punkster-ish, except for the cute animal print! Nice.

We went on a lovely Sunday walk and used Grant's stroller for the first time! He loved the ride and dozed the whole way.

We walked up to the temple. Exactly one month previously we did the same walk, I was 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant (and one day away from birthing a child), and I just about perished from the effort of it all. This time, it was so easy breezy! I love that I can move around, run, jump, and play like I used to...not having to kill my back and hold up my heavy belly in the process! Only 4 more pounds to lose until I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight! Yahoo!

Grant is now 1 month and 2 days old! I can't believe so much time has gone by since he's been born. He is getting to be so big! Jeff knows just how to bring a smile to his son's face! (Please note his happy Asian eyes. Also note his cute chubby chests! Ha ha!)

I love my little family so much! I'm so grateful I get to keep them forever.

Keep the Wee Wee Wigwams for your daughters too. I've been projectile peed on twice in the last two hours. The second time we both had to bathe because it was such a mess.

He is so cute. And you guys are such a cute little family. I'm glad you were able to get out and go to the temple. :) Congratulations again on your beautiful family.
P.S. I also love your Wee Wee Wigwams. Some day I may have you show me how to make them. :)
