Tomorrow is Monday, which means my brother will need a blog post to read while he prepares himself mentally for the work day. Erik, this one’s for you!

Things are going well here in the McPherson household. Beatrice is currently sleeping on my chest while I use the Boppy to stabilize the laptop. We are finally feeling like we’ve got a rhythm going with this parenting thing, sort of. I say sort of because once we figure out Beatrice’s schedule, she has a growth spurt or stays up too late and everything changes again. I suspect this will be the case for quite a long time to come in our parenting future. All in all though, life as a family of three is delightful. So far this month, we’ve taken Bea to her first Mariner’s game, gotten back into the classroom at Sunday school,  walked to the Redmond Saturday Market and enjoyed some Hawaiian shaved ice, pushed her in the stroller, played around on the floor, took a second roadtrip to Yakima, enjoyed a few meals out on the deck, hung out with our play group, celebrated the birthdays of friends and family, and had a generally good time (Jonathan, I used that Oxford comma just for you and because it made sense just this once). I’m hoping the nice weather sticks around because it is just so fun to be outside!

One fun part of this month has been having Jonathan’s sister and brother in-law stay with us while they have some work done at their house. It’s been such a blessing for Beatrice to get to know them better and be comfortable with them. And hello, I’d be an idiot if I didn’t think it was awesome to have someone around to hang out with Bea while I do crazy things like go to the bathroom or buy one ingredient I need for dinner. I think it’s going to be a real shock to the system when Bea has only two people around her!

We’ll post her three month update on Tuesday, until then here is a photo of us from the baseball game last weekend:

And should you have additional time, please check this out. It’s a delight!
