Has it already been one month?  Wow!  I can hardly believe it.  There is such a different feeling knowing that I am not returning to work.  I think I would be really sad if I knew I only had two more weeks at home.  Currently, I am amazed it is already the end of July.  Where did the days go?  One more month until school starts, for Avery and me.

Here's Mazie now.  She weighed 11 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. and 21 1/4 inches long as of Monday, 7/21.

And here are Princess Avery and Superman Roman.

It is absurdly early in the morning.  That's how I feel right now.  Mazie decided to wake up at 5am, so she and I have been chilling together.  Now she wants to go back to sleep but will not.  I thought I could steal a few moments to type, but she beckons.

Mazie is two weeks old today.  I was going to load some pictures, but the drive wasn't working on my mother-in-law's computer and Bryan is using our laptop.  I would guess Mazie weighs around 9 lbs. now.  Her cheeks are getting quite plump!  I will put on some new pictures when I am able.
We are in St. Joseph for the week, showing off the new baby.  We drove through quite a rainstorm last night on our way.  We were under a dark raincloud for at least 30 minutes; the downpour was intense. 
We also received a call that Bryan's grandpa was taken to the emergency room with severe dizziness.  They admitted him around 11pm, just as we were arriving in town.  He has a distended stomach, which makes him appear pregnant.  They were going to run tests to see if his kidneys were still functioning or what else may be causing the problem.  He is 85 and has been in and out of the hospital multiple times just this year.  It is highly possible that he may not last through the week, but we pray for peace during this time for him and the entire family.  When we decided to visit the family, we did not have a funeral in mind.
