Not today!
For today, I made plans to meet Jenny for breakfast. Since Susie died, we haven't really been in the mood to go out for a sister lunch. We all loved those times together. They were so special and always included a picture of the three of us. Suz wanted to see the sister picture up on Facebook within hours of our lunch date. Makes me smile to think about that. Jenny and I talk pretty much everyday, often while I am on my way to work and only for 10 minutes or so, but we get into some deep conversations during those short calls. Yesterday I texted Jen to see if she wanted to grab breakfast or lunch and we decided to meet at Egg Harbor at Yorktown. It was a great way to start the day and we left wondering why the heck we don't do things together more often. We did not take a picture, though. Fail.
After breakfast, I went into work for a little while. I am assigned to three evals tomorrow and I wanted to preview the files. That was productive, but I was done by 11am with unstructured day ahead of me. I decided to call Sally and offer to watch Ellie while she got some stuff done. Sally said yes and I headed over to her house after lunch.
Ellie is growing so fast!! It is amazing to witness. She is crawling all over, pulling to stand, babbling, laughing, demonstrating object permanence and joint attention. Wow. Just wow.
Because Ellie is so mobile now, I decided to put her in her crib while I was in the bathroom. I came out and there was Otto, laying in the nursery doorway. I think he was protecting her! So sweet.
While I was writing this post, we had a storm pass through, followed by some brilliant lighting. Sally called to see if we had a rainbow. Jack and I went outside and there it was, the most glorious rainbow!
No one loved a rainbow more than Suz. Gives me great comfort to think she was watching over us and watching us enjoy this sign of God's covenant.
