Jewel's social security number arrived today. Exactly one week after I applied for it. Now we can file our taxes (I know that few people look forward to that, but it will be a load off, and hopefully a return - oh and an economic stimulus check would come in handy,too.)
You just wouldn't believe how excited I am. I have spent HOURS working on this and her birth certificate. I feel like I finally achieved something.
On Father's day we decided that the whole famn damily is going on a cruise in July. Really, I'm so excited - mostly that we are ALL going (Eric's parents and my Mom), but also that someone else is going to cook and clean for me for 7 days, AND I will get to go new places and see new things. I feel so lucky that I have married into a family that I enjoy spending time with and being a part of. I feel even luckier that they have not only accepted me as one of their own, but my crazy and complicated family, too.
Here are a couple of Father's day photos for ya:
That last one is from a series that I started when Liam was four months old, for Eric's first Father's Day. There is a picture each year with a letter, that all go into a five-photo frame to collectively spell DADDY. If I had the other photos on the computer I'd post them. The changes over the last three years are unbelievable. Of course, this was the first year with TWO children in the picture. And let me tell you, getting two to hold the letter right way, look at the camera with their eyes open and look like they were perhaps enjoying the moment, was no small feat.
Hope this finds you all well. Jenny
