Whew. It’s been a big few days since the grandparents arrived from Michigan. A whirlwind of cooking, I whipped up Christmas Even dinner, Christmas breakfast, Christmas dinner, then went right in to client cooking Monday and Tuesday. Plus Ian’s been up multiple times during the night, so I feel like I haven’t quite relaxed and been able to just enjoy having my folks here.

I’m getting there, though. Client food was completed this afternoon and the rest of the week will be about  sneaking some alone time with my mom, with husband, and with myself at some point! Want to go to a yoga class really bad…

Ian’s been super sweet and happy even though he’s still congested. He’s been waking up a lot at night, and between his cold symptoms and the fact that our house is very exciting these days, I’m not surprised. Means less sleep at night for us, but I’m trying not to stress about it and hope that when our normal routine resumes he will have an easier time sleeping through the night.

His first birthday is Sunday. I cannot even begin to wrap my head around that one. He’s gonna get some gluten free, sugar free blueberries and cream cupcakes, and we’re gonna get champagne. Pop!
