Peaceful mornings.

The house (with the exception of one small pile of papers on the kitchen table) is back in order.  Everything has shifted around and/or found new homes.  It's nice to have order restored in our little universe.  We don't have a crib yet because a set of grandparents wants to give it to us for a gift.  But once we do, we will be done with the big things in that room.  Woot.

My husband and I have picked out a name.  It's a bit unusual despite it being a traditional name.  I always liked names that are a bit out of the ordinary, as long as they aren't TOO out of the ordinary.  Unusual enough to be unique but not unusual enough to be teased, that has been my goal.  I think this name accomplishes that.  And I like the spelling.  My husband likes that it is a name that has special meaning for us - even though the special meaning is rather funny.

Today is a quiet morning.  My husband had a family emergency and left suddenly for a week and a half.  I am glad he was able to go to be there for his family.  That said, it is very nice to have him home.  The cats and I missed him.  And now our household feels a bit more peaceful.  Like I was saying above - order has been restored in our little universe.  Can't tell you how wonderful it is to have him back.

The morning routine is calling, so I will end this update for now.  I hope for more peaceful mornings in the future.
