Ups and Downs

This has been an interesting week.  It started out a little rough.  I was worn out, tired of taking care of everything myself, dealing with two teething babies, a dog that needs surgery, things that keep breaking in the house (the faucet, the garage door, etc), lame medical bills and insurance companies, and sort of in a bad mood overall. 

Everything is taken care of and I have had some time to think about how grateful I am for the people who support me and help me on a day-to-day basis.  I truly have some great friends here and I'm not sure how we would manage without the support we have from them.  I can't even count how many times Kimzey has come over to help with dinnertime/bath time - at least a couple times a week.  This has been such a huge help to me I can't even explain it.  Heather has brought over food several times (despite the fact that she was on her own too), Kenzie has kept us company for playdates and brunch.  I also appreciate my family and the support they always provide me - even if it's from a distance. 

The week ended on a high note with the birth of baby Gavin Cromwell.  We are headed over shortly to meet the little guy.  I also had a great race at the Bridge Run Half Marathon yesterday with a time of 1:37 - more than a ten minute PR.  It was also fun seeing my friends there and having time to catch up with everyone.

Here are some pics from the week:
