Day 61...cousin time...again.

Mar 21

First day of spring officially! This is my favorite time of year, in Portland especially but here in San Diego too. The flowers all blooming everywhere!

We had such a good day with Stacey, Damon and Tucker. It's been a while since I've been around a two year old and I forgot how draining they can be, ha! I think it was especially good for mom to get to spend time with him though, she hasn't seen him since my wedding and he was only 5 months old then!

Stacey got a lot of baby time with Martyn, which was cool, and I got a lot of time with Stacey which was cool. Man I miss that girl, I wish they still lived in Oregon. She did say however, they will be up in September for her uncle's wedding and I'll get to see her brand new baby boy then. I'm excited for that. Martyn will be a 9 months and fun in a different way...not more or less fun because he's pretty fun right now.

I was proud of Damon, he fixed mom's computer so she can use her camera and skype with us all now, and he got my computer on the Internet, which I could not figure out how to do. Lame that I only had a couple more days for it, but still cool none the less. He helped mom and Jack fix their kitchen fan, and helped Jack with the gofer traps in the yard. He watched Tucker while Stacey and Grannie and I were visiting (grannie is mom, I call her that sometimes when Stacey or Zeke are around...old habit from when they were kids) and when mom and Jack went to bed he came in the living room with Stacey and I and had a good conversation with out being silly. I see him growing up more....which is cool, and hopeful.

I love seeing that he loves his family, and seems to want the best for them....although he's still a young fellow and doesn't know what that may be sometimes.

Still, he's trying and I appreciate that.

I'm glad I was a bit older when I had Martyn. I still have a lot to learn about being a mama, but I wasn't entirely green, and being older in general helped me I think. I guess we'll see how much I've learned in due time, when I have my second child. The plan is to wait until Martyn is at least one and half before trying to get pregnant with the second...that way he's be over two when baby is born. I love that he's my baby right now....and will be for a long time, probably forever for that matter, no matter if we have more kids or not...and they will be my baby too.

It feels good to think about the future like that.
