Two year olds are the best

From Instagram: And again I say…I love this age SO MUCH!

We spent the latter half of this week obsessively checking weather forecasts after a Wednesday forecast calling for 5-8″ of rain in our area! Thankfully, that number dropped steadily as the hours and days ticked by, and I think when all is said and done, we’ll be somewhere between 2-4″ of new rain on top of the rain we’d already received earlier in the week. We drove past quite a few fallen branches and trees yesterday, so I’m not entirely sure what to expect when we venture out again tomorrow for church, but we’re all thankful that Hurricane Joaquin’s track is no longer poised over our area.

This weekend we’re celebrating our third fall baby as our oldest daughter turns 11 (how did that happen?!), and hoping to sneak in some time to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary as well. And on Monday the kids and I will be heading to Maryland to bake and deliver cookies to the Gaithersburg Police Department as part of the Cookies for a Cop campaign. I’m miserably pregnant at this point (a privilege I don’t take lightly…but I am growing increasingly whiny anyway), and it will be good to take my mind off myself and do something for someone else!
