Thursday, July 4 - Happy Independence Day

7:13 a.m. - Yesterday I was able to see Caleb...he's a big one - 10 lbs., 2 ounces, 23 1/4 inches and born at 6:06 a.m. on July 2, 2024.  Carmen and baby are doing better after struggling a bit after delivery due to a pretty hard birth.  On my way, I picked up some Jimmy John's sandwiches and some flowers, and I had the elephant blanket that Amber had purchased for a gift too.   I forgot my mom's blanket, so I'm going to meet Tyler today and take that down to them.  We had a real nice visit, and my heart and brain were comforted because the both are looking good.  Caleb has few tubes hooked up to him, and after receiving a couple of pints of blood on delivery day, Carmen is looking and sounding better.  I didn't hold little Caleb, but I did get to touch his hands and feet and head when I was allowed to accompany Tyler and Carmen in the nursery.  I'm so glad and blessed that all now are doing well, and I appreciate Caleb arriving before we head out on our camping adventure tomorrow.

Speaking of that, I woke up last night after falling to sleep on the couch, and then I couldn't get back to sleep.  There are just too many things to think about with Caleb's arrival, a new job, and our camping trip.  This was supposed to be a simple summer!  It's definitely been an eventful summer instead.

I'm scheduled to mow the yard today, but the weather isn't cooperating.  We are supposed to have a pool party today, but again, the weather isn't cooperating.  One thing I do need to get done is finish packing the camper.  I have clothes and a lot of other stuff to make sure to take with us.  I've got a list, though, so that should help.  It's also been a summer of a lot of lists!
