"Sleep 'til you're hungry, eat 'til you're sleepy"

My sweet little sleeper. Ollie basically lives by this quote right now. If he is not eating, he is sleeping. I've been warned that this won't last, and I actually look forward to getting to know him a little better. Of course, those of you reading this who have had a baby who won't sleep may send me hate mail. HOWEVER, before you do, realize that the doctor said he slept like this because he was eating so much (nursing!) that he was passing out in order to digest it. So, I am a little tired myself.

Today was the "Taste of Evangel" at church. I'd really like to organize something like this for one of the last days of school. Essentially, everyone makes their specialty. You purchase tickets and buy a little of what you'd like. (I include this description because I'd never heard of something like this until Taste of Buffalo). Anyway, it would be really cool to do for a final dress down day. I'm going to see if we can do something like this--maybe the money raised could go to a soup kitchen. Hmmm... anyway, it was fun. Matty made his "New England Corn Chowda"--those of you who have been to the annual Chandler Soup Party would recognize it. It was really fun, and yummy, to taste all the different dishes.

I still have a month left until I return to work. I'm going to enjoy the time, as I know that I will NEVER be on maternity leave again :) Two is plenty! I watch some of the super frazzled parents at church who have four or five kids. Maybe they know something I don't, but I can't see how you have enough energy to go around.

Anyway, nothing too exciting to report here. It is a lazy Sunday. I can brag that I am 100% current on my scrapbooking thanks to marathon naps yesterday. Matty and I got so much done while the kiddos were sleeping. I'm going to send out some pictures tomorrow, but I thought I'd post this one of Ollie. He is such a blessing. In fact, that is really what I am feeling today. Blessed. A good job, a great family, a wonderful home, supportive and interesting friends, and sunshine. What more could I want?!
