grateful for this village

i've heard it said time and time again…

it takes a village to raise a child

and i also believe it takes a village to help a mother find her bearings after having a child.

blame it on hormones or whatever but today i'm feeling excessively weepy/emotional/grateful for all the people creating my village–this growing group that has supported me throughout the crazy physical challenges i've had during the past few years.

thank you for being part of this village for me. i appreciate all of the love you have given me here. it makes me happy. so thank you–so much.

i look forward to the time when i can be a giver instead of a receiver. hopefully soon.

and with that…more baby photos which are sure to be plentiful in the days ahead. can't help it!

here's the little man's first bath documented.
