The Black Family Weblog

So I’m back on the blog :)

Having been properly chastised by some dear friends last night for my lack of blogginess and a gentle reminder that I am, in fact, home, I am officially claiming myself returned from my blog absentia. Which is to say that I am no longer just “the girl who used to post on this family blog” and I am now “the girl who is posting on this family blog again.”

The Cliffs notes version of “Things as They Are Right Now” before I jump right back into repopulating the Utter Randomness category of our posts:

Mostly, we are all doing superfantastigreat. Generally, we are all recovering from colds of varying degrees but overall on the mend and otherwise can’t complain.

Rachel is doing really well—back up to birth weight as of Tuesday, I am happy to report, and we received permission from the peds to stop waking her up to feed her in the middle of the night. Last night she slept for a number of contiguous hours that I will refrain from reporting here so as to avoid any tacky comments questioning whether her sleep was partially encouraged by medication (it wasn’t!). New photos coming soon :)

We are extremely thankful for our many friends who have lovingly been feeding us these past couple of weeks. As our nutritionally-enhanced figures suggest, we have very much enjoyed those delicious meals!!

More later in the vein of the typical randomness…meanwhile, it’s good to see you again!!
