Me so hungy (this isn't a typo, it's a quote)

So we just had our second department meeting this week (that's one more than usual) and once again we went over our allotted time. I am all for clarity and team solidarity. I am not for having people ask questions and talk just to hear their own voices.

Breakfast is only served till 9:30am so I missed it. I am so darn hungry!!!

Anyways, just thought I would get that off my chest.

Liz, Eleanor, and I will be going camping this weekend. Therefore, it is with excitement and curiosity that I approach this new experience.
This will be Eleanor's first time sleeping somewhere else. For that matter it will be our first time sleeping somewhere else since she's been born.

We plan on driving to 11 mile canyon this afternoon and spending the night. Saturday we will hopefully do some hiking, climbing, swimming, eating, and relaxing.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Eleanor had her last appointment with her midwives yesterday. She weighted in at 10lbs 11.5oz and measured 25inches long. Her head also grew 1/4 of an inch.
She seems to be very healthy.
She continues to be content and a joy to be with all the time.

Hope to continue this trend of updates and random thoughts.

My stomach is full of excitement and no food,

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

I know it has been a while since my last post, in fact it's been over a month. Sorry but when you have a baby, a full time job, and love to be outside you'll understand that blogs get the back seat.

Eleanor is 7 weeks old today. She is getting so big so fast. We have our next appointment tomorrow so I will have to write another post to tell you her stats but last time she was 9lbs 12oz and 23inches long.

She loves to bounce and climb. The other day she used my belly button as a foothold. Less than 2 months old and she already knows that using your legs in climbing is more important than your arms. What a champ.

She has started to smile, which is the best thing ever! However, I still can't help but wonder what she thinks about or if she loves me. I wonder how far she can see and what it's like to ride in a car or the stroller. When she sees tree branches over head mixed with blue sky and occasional traffic lights does it all appear clear? Or does everything look like she's looking through a kaleidoscope?

Shane Barnard wrote a song titled Amazing. The song is about our infatuation with God, the love story and courtship with our creator. If you haven't heard it, you should.
In a lot of ways it reflects not only how I feel about my Lord but also my daughter and wife.

Verse 1: It’s amazing to see you. It’s more amazing to get to know you. Are you for real, a constant question in my mind... It’s amazing to me, that this love could be reality...

Chorus: It’s amazing, so amazing, oh amazing. You’re amazing to me.

Verse 2: Oh my heart beats for your affections... And my ears burn for your voice
