Happy Birthday JP and Other News

By Anonymous

I apologize for the absence. I've been very busy feeling like I'm going to throw up and wanting to curl up under my desk and be unconscious for the next month or so. So there's been no time to share the adorable things Landon is doing or to complain about how JP is still sick and had the flu after all, or even to tell the story about how I was supposed to finish up a section of Motion to Dismiss last night so it could be sent to the client this morning but I fell asleep at 8:45 and then woke up at 8 a.m. with nothing done and had to race to work and write through the nausea to get Something to the partner by 10. His previously high estimation of my writing may have been permanently harmed by the piece of crap I emailed to him at 9:59.

In other news, JP turned 28 on Sunday. He celebrated by going to the minor emergency center and finding out he probably had the flu. I felt on the verge of vomitting all day, so we ate a simple dinner at one of our favorite thai places while my sister babysit the Lanman. We figured we'd save the expensive, special dinner for a night we would actually enjoy it.

Landon was very excited about his daddy's birthday and sang his version "Happy Birthday" on and off for most of the day. I finally thought to get some of it on video and now have a full 2 minute clip of his Gregorian-like chant of the birthday song. Here is a 20-second sample:

He is quite the bright spot in my life right now and that makes me both so excited about this next baby and so sad that this baby means I won't get to spend every second I'm at home laughing and playing with him.
