I attended a birth this morning. The baby weighed 11#5!!!! The mama is over 6' tall but we weren't expecting that! We guessed baby at 9-10 lbs. at her prenatal a few days ago. I got there first, and for a minute (when her water broke and she yelled "baby's coming!") I thought I was going to have to catch the baby myself. Luckily for her, she pushed for about 40 minutes which was plenty of time for Stacia and the other apprentice to arrive.
We went out to dinner with the kids tonight, at 9pm. It was great, they were so sweet, they ordered adult food instead of kid's meals, and were just the picture of well-behaved kids. I love it when that happens! Also, I put them in nice clean clothes before we went out so they weren't all grungy like usual.
While Luka was napping today, Julian made friends with the a neighbor's guests, and took them to play at the common house where apparently, he found a sing-along/jam session/hippy thing in progress and joined in. I love cohousing!
Our new house is wonderful and the kids love it here. I can't help but wonder why everyone doesn't live like this. The boys are growing like weeds, they're spending days and days outside, eating snap peas from our garden, raspberries from the bush, getting good and filthy and just generally enjoying themselves all day long. I wish summer could last forever. We've been to the lake a few times and Luka is learning to swim. Today we walked through the woods to the barn to visit the llamas, and ate black raspberries in the forest. My life is just perfect.
