+ baby - internet

Now, of these two things one would think the baby would have adjusted our life more... but that is not true. At this point baby just keeps me up at night some (but no more than I was up the 3rd trimester anyway), poops (but really takes no time to change), and cries (but is no noisier than Jude).
However, our internet has been down the last week and until this point we had not consciously admitted that the internet is our lifeline: source of information, entertainment, and connection to other people (especially with Jarod off work, me not able to move faster than a decrepit old woman and temperatures and humidity hovering around 100 degrees that requires us to keep baby mostly indoors).
Our week off line has probably helped us to bond better with each other and baby -spending hours talking, playing games, and goofing off with the kids. But in the last 8 hours of reconnectedness to our lifeline we have found out these pertinent pieces of information and now have the ability to pass them on to you:

Lanolin is indeed made from the grease pressed from sheep's wool.
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" does not have anything to do with LSD... so let it go
There are many false TB tests each year... so don't worry if you get a big bump from your skin test
"Body Worlds" is a museum exhibit put together in Germany using the remains of only willing donors - while "Our Body: the Universe within" - a similar exhibit - may have obtained their specimens in a more questionable manner.
ETC...ETC... aren't you glad we got the internet back???

Well, Jarod is waiting for his turn again so I must go, but lucky for you we have no photos of us kissing our computer... just some shots of baby I had time to take while off line.





P.S. - Jude quickly abandoned my idea of 3 pirates who don't do anything and has been busier than ever with lake trips, train trips, and parties with the other people in his life... thanks son...

Thank heaven you are back on line!!! I was starting to freak out that you had quit blogging for awhile now that the baby was here!

Um.

I'm not kidding. I've been checking your site all week - - wondering when you would write!

I missed you.

Oh Friends, Lucy is just precious!!! I love her sweet little smile in that B&W on the blanket. So glad to hear you were able to get some additional family time in before the "world" came back to you :) ... a world for which we are forever grateful since regular mail just wouldn't cut it to keep in touch with you!

All our love and hugs,

The Bernards
