on our own

today is the first day of little elie's life where her parents are the only ones taking care of her. we were so grateful to have my mama here for her first twelve days of life. this morning i took mama to the airport and tearfully we said goodbye. while i want nothing more than to raise eliana in this beautiful mountain valley, it doesn't take away the pain of living so far from family. my mama probably won't see elie until the fall and will miss so many of her beautiful changes.

so to get on with our old, pre-baby, summer routine, jeffy and i went to the creek. i sat in the water and soaked my still ailing "ladies parts" while elie took a little nap on the bank of rattlesnake creek. we are so lucky to live close to so much beauty and i have to say i am feeling relaxed and content with my place in this world.
