Haven't posted in a while. Things have been busy. Jack and I spent all last week at my parents house after going to Cade's state track meet. I wanted to be there for his graduation and his party (mostly just so I could show off my baby.) So poor Nate was at home all week without us. More importantly, without Jack. I think he almost went crazy. He joined us on Friday night in time to go to graduation on Saturday. It was thrilling, let me tell you. Hot, uncomfortable bleachers; sweaty baby; people we don't know giving boring speeches. Yeah, a great time had by all.

The good thing was Jack and I got to hang out with my family more. Even Dax was there both weekends and I'm not sure if he's going to be able to stand not seeing Jack next weekend. He likes my baby A LOT. In fact, I'm a little worried he might steal the little guy. Despite my worries about kidnapping, he really is the greatest uncle (and he's a pretty stellar brother, too). Yesterday in the mail were TWO packages from Dax: a Dunder Mifflin shirt for Jack and a Beatles album for me. Yea!

For those of you who don't know, we are big fans of the Office. In fact, we often find ourselves talking about Jim, Pam, Michael, and the rest of the gang as if they're our friends, as if they're real people. We say things like, "Did you hear what Dwight did yesterday?" It's a sickness, really. Needless to say, we're super excited about the Dunder Mifflin shirt. And I've been wanting the White Album for a long time now. It was a good day.

Now we've been home for a few days and I've been trying to get things put back together around here. "Trying" is  the operative word in that sentence. Jack has wanted me to hold him all the time. I spent over two hours today holding him on the couch because every time I tried to put him down to sleep, he woke up.  The laundry isn't done yet. Oh, well.
