you know how some people seem to have more than their share of bad luck? my brother got his car, bike, and skateboard all stolen, and he just got laid off from the graphic design firm he's worked at for about five years. come on!i talked to him tonight, and he was actually doing pretty well. he's been spending his suddenly-free days logging volunteer hours to transform a neglected philly lot into a skate park in a low-income neighborhood. it seems like such an innovative revitalization project.
above is a picture of the park's progress, and this one is of josh skating a part that is completed. cool, huh?
my parents, brother, and sister bethany are all coming out next weekend for my birthday. i'm so excited to see them! dylan has changed so much since christmas when they saw her last, and it will be so great to be together.
today is day 6 of jim being away, and dylan finally fell apart. tonight i was desperately wishing jim were here so i could pass off parenting responsibilities! dylan only napped 40 minutes, and she completely melted down at dinner: tears, tantrums, pasta on the ground. fun times.
thankfully, dylan is asleep now, and she only woke ONCE the past two nights! here's hoping for another sleep-filled night and for everyone to hold it together until jim comes home.
