Perfection

I’m still working on Miss Zara’s birth story, but I wanted to share a quick update on how we’re doing.  And, honestly, the title of this post says it all.  I couldn’t imagine a better beginning to our little entry into the world.  Everything about this experience, from the birth to the past two days are even better than I could have imagined.

I keep thinking about how at this point after Nora’s birth I was still in the hospital “birth center.”  I was wearing my own clothes, but not sleeping in my own bed, eating my own food, or existing in my own comfortable environment.  And, on top of that, I was so, so, so much more uncomfortable.  I cannot believe how much better I feel after this birth than I did following Nora’s birth.  It’s incredible.  So here I am, two days postpartum, at home with my two(!) daughters, baking birthday cakes

Nora has been amazing, just as I knew she would be.  Of course there are moments here and there when she reminds us that she needs something to do or someone to spend time with her, but overall she is thrilled and excited to be the big sister and seems to have completely forgotten that she wanted Peach to be a boy.

Of course, it’s not hard to be a excited about being a big sister when it comes with coconut layer cake!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. ๐Ÿ˜‚
