Getting Over a Funk

We have been delinquent with our blog posts this last week.  The main reason is the weather.  Ry and I have had enough rain and it has finally affected our mood to the extreme.  I think when our plan to enjoy sunny LA last weekend turned into more rain we lost a bit of hope for ever getting Vitamin D again.  It doesn't help that PJ has had a rough week himself due to bad naps at school, fully loaded diapers every single diaper change, and 3 top teeth that have finally broken through the gum to join the lone snaggle tooth that came out a couple weeks ago.   I know lame excuses, maybe we would have gotten out of our funk sooner if we shared some cute pictures and videos earlier but we had a hard time seeing outside our own little "rough life" this past week.  
Thank goodness for good friends, less rain and some kind words from family to get us out of our funk and looking outside ourselves.
 Saturday morning we supported some good friends at a breakfast that was fund-raising for homeless teens.  The breakfast had a great speaker with an awesome perspective, who spoke to our hearts at exactly the right time. God sure knows how to slap you upside the head and remind you what is important and waking up in a warm bed at 3am due to a healthy yet unhappy baby is just not worth the funk!  To top off that great breakfast we actually saw the sun this weekend; small pockets of blue sky and rays of sunshine!  We even got to have lunch with our close friends who always remind us of our blessed lives, especially that we are blessed to have them in our lives.  Love you Amy, Tash and Jake!
So as our funk dissipated from our hearts, we were reminded that we have some awesome friends and family that support us in good times and bad.  THANK YOU!
A special thank you to my mom, Aunt Dawn, and Amanda for actually reading this blog and providing the feedback that this blog is enjoyable to you!
So with that we are on to trying this week to enjoy more of the little things and what better way to start than with these two videos...
The first video is of PJ laughing and throwing his head back with a little high pitch sound imitating his momma's laugh.  He loved that he made us laugh it was a great cycle of him laughing and then his parents laughing and on it went.  I apologize for his gross coughing.  I was going to edit the coughing out but then thought it was so hilarious that he hacks for a moment and then continues his laughing and imitating.   The second video shows his affinity for coffee mugs.
