the good, the bad, and the oh-so-cute...

it's been a rough couple of weeks... a lot of stress, relational drama, baby, etc... but we have so many people willing to give us a little help so we can rest and work through stuff. amazing. ashley came over on saturday for a couple hours while jason and i did some separate fun and restful things... then that night, kristi babysat so we could go on a date! and we were still desperate for some time to talk sunday night, so kimmy & julie & kristi all came and hung out with joey while jason and i greabbed some food and talked for half an hour (amazing how much talk and connection time you can fit into that short span when it's all you've got!). then yesterday all day i was just in need of some time, and no one was able to come, but then kristi just showed up in the afternoon, and i handed joey off to her immediately... then when jason got home, she took joey with her to the horses while we got some more talk time - amazing! and now dana is at our house right now so i can finally get a little ALONE time (none of that was, and it has been desperately needed)! wow - it looks like even more once i write it out! we are so thankful for these dear friends and sisters who just give of their time for us (under the pretense that they're just glad for some "joey time" :)
anyone else want some joey time? (see picture ;)
