Forever Starts Today: Schafer Six Pack

Whelp...put in the fifth load of laundry for the day (diapers that will soak until morning) and waiting for the last "stirring" of the sourdough bread before I call it a night. I composed the following diddy months ago and relearned the formatting and placement of pictures. With a growing family and a house that is soon to hit its centennial, we are in a constant state of transition, reorganization, and, dare I say, transformation. I've scoured the totes of boy clothes from our storage and now hung to dry the 6-9 month long sleeve onesies that arrived by speedy delivery this afternoon to replenish a dwindling supply. I'm not sure Luke will approve of me opting to blog over working on overalls for the super Mario brother costumes for him and Augustine to wear on Halloween.

Nonetheless,

Praise the Lord!

Ignatius Drexel Schafer is here!

(and 3 and a half months out of the womb-sheesh)

Praise the Lord!

No induction that I feared!

(Birthdate: July 12th around 6:35am babe weighed in at 8 lb. 15oz)

Praise the Lord!

Grandma Angie was not injured by deer!

(after a 4am wake up call and drive to Canton past Quail Hollow State Park)

Praise the Lord!

Abundant blessings from family and friends!

(So. Much. Love.)

(and testosterone;-)

Praise the Lord!

Doctors and nurses our health and wellness defend!

(What!?! Life's not ALL rainbows and sleeping babies)

Ignatius is what one of my friends dubbed "a happy spitter" which makes for multiple wardrobe changes for both him and I on any given day. Plus, we are working through a bout of diaper rash. We are blaming the different detergent we adopted since our last one was doing the daytime diaper deal.

Still, I can't complain. Ignatius is a pretty good little guy, growing and learning at an astounding rate. Simeon, our three year old, on the other hand, can be, ...hmmm...shall we say... challenging.
