A new kind of great

I talked to a friend this morning who I haven't talked to since G was born. She asked how we were and I replied, "Great!"

She said, "So everyone's sleeping through the night?"

Well, if that's your definition of great, then no. We aren't doing so great. :)

But this is my definition:

We have two lovable, healthy boys. A baby who is sweet and smiley and lights up when he sees us. A toddler who has FINALLY decided to be done with diapers (!!!).

We still have our jobs, and our apartment, and we still fit, despite worries to the contrary.

We have lots of wonderful friends to fill our days and late night runs to Sonic.

And most importantly, we have learned how to appreciate all of these things.

It's true, I'm not getting near enough sleep these days. But I know it's a phase that will pass soon.

So I stand by my original statement,

We really are doing great.
