I hope you had a good weekend, readers. We had a three-day weekend here, which was unexpected but welcome, and we thoroughly enjoyed our extra day off. We took a little trip to Boulder on what felt like a gorgeous spring day yesterday, visited a shop where we tried out (with such great assistance from staff there) and then purchased a baby carrier we're very excited about. Then we traveled up, up, up to NCAR, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which sits on a hill up against the mountains with a spectacular view of the surrounding area. They also have some neat exhibits inside which are free to the public. We browsed around there, then finished our Boulder experience with some local 3 nut Rocky Road ice cream (in freshly-made waffle cones). We picked up a Veggie Tales movie on the way home ("The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything"), and wound down the evening together with tacos and Veggie Tales. It was a great day!
Now it's time for a brand-new week...

Hi Melissa,
This is Kerstin's friend, Robin. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sorry that I have not said "hello" sooner. I have been reading your blog off and on for a while though. That Veggie Tales movie is one of our favorites around here. Hope you guys enjoyed it. When is your next little one due? My boys are 16 months apart and our baby is due when my little guy is 16 months old/April. Hope you are doing well.
Robin
Hi Robin!
It's great to "meet" you! :) Our baby is due March 25, so if Baby comes on time or a bit late, our little ones will be about 15 months apart.
Do you have any words of wisdom for staying encouraged in the midst of caring for little ones (including a little one on the way), being in transition, and having your husband gone a lot? I've been struggling with that lately -- in addition to taking care of my son, nephew, & Baby, this week we moved, and my husband (a third-year medical student currently on his OB/Gyn rotation) has been working nights (and very long hours). These and a few other things have left me feeling physically and emotionally drained. I'm so excited for the things ahead, and know we are so blessed even now, but it's also just hard right now and some days I don't know how I'm going to make it through without falling apart. I so long to live with more joy and hope, especially so I can give more joy and life to my family and others around me. Any thoughts from another mom in the trenches? :)
