Return to normalcy

At least I’m hoping it is.

It’s been a hectic 1.5 weeks – not necessarily bad, but just busy.  Last week was busy with the birth of our nephew!  Yeah!  But that also meant little sleep from running around so much.  And we had a big family dinner last Wednesday with my husband’s family, and my sister-in-law’s in-laws.  That night as soon as I got to my sister-in-law’s house, I went to work, helping get everything together.  And then eating.  And being tired.  On top of all of that, I started to get sick.  So I haven’t had a chance to hold my little burrito!    I’ve been very good not getting too close to my nephew and hopefully he did not get sick!  More family came in over the weekend, so there were more meals with everyone.  Which while good and very nice to be with family, I know I ate more than I normally would have.  My cold got worse!    Everything cumulated yesterday with the bris!  Some of the relatives started going home.  And now we’re back in our house.  Hopefully getting back to our schedule.

My cold has started to get better.  While not completely gone, I’m not feeling too bad.  I’m starting to get a little more sleep, except for last night when the little thunderstorm woke me up and I couldn’t get back to sleep for a while.  With all the in and out of the house we had, I will say that Miss Stella was great last week!  I was expecting her to act out and go back to her destructive ways of a few weeks ago.  (I almost don’t want to write about it in case it jinxes the situation and she does go back to being destructive! haha)  But she was really good and kept the house in one piece!

We cooked dinner tonight, which was nice, since it has probably been over a week since we’ve eaten dinner together, just the two of us, in our house.  We had a yummy dinner, too! 

And…we got a new toy today!  Apparently you can’t get out of Costco with only the items on the list you walked in with.  haha  Greg bought a new printer/scanner/fax.  This thing is so cool – at least to me!  It’s wireless – you can scan a picture or document and have it saved straight to your computer.  You can print the item that was scanned in several formats – picture, pdf, word, pdf that is searchable, and I don’t remember what else.  You can print from your computer or a storage card.  Or, even better, your iPhone!  Crazy, huh?  There’s an application that allows you to print from your iPhone to the HP.  It scans double-sided.  And the pictures we printed seemed to be pretty decent!  I have lots of picture frames to fill, and now I can print the pictures for them!

Oh – this is it:  Link to our nifty new scanner
