Stress...

Another month comes and goes.  I find that the faster Jaycee grows, the faster life seems to move.  As the pace quickens the stress of life seems to increase.  As our adventure continues, I am learning that doing day to day activities isn't as easy as it was pre baby.  Just to go out I have a list of requirements that sometimes take longer to prepare than the actual trip would take.  Needless to say, I haven't been getting out much.  Lately I have been letting the stress build and I often have to remind myself that I am so lucky to be here at home with my little girl.  I have to stop and think about how hard my wife works everyday to take care of our family financially and then she has to come home and be super mom.  When you feel like the walls are closing in on you, it makes it hard to stop and put things into perspective.  I have spent some time thinking about the truths in my life that will ground me and set me straight and I have found that every truth is about my wife and my daughter.  Then the cycle completes itself.  I love my daughter and I love my wife.  I take care of my daughter everyday out of love and I love my wife for allowing me to have this little angel in my life.  It's funny how we can let the little things take over our thoughts when we lose sight of the big picture.  You know, I am learning more about life from Jaycee than I was ever able to learn on my own.  I can't wait for my next lesson.  Now who could be stressed with so much to look forward to?...

Jaycee is so so beautiful. I can't wait to see more pictures and hear about your experiences as a stay at home daddy. How cool Josh!
