It gets better?

This picture was one of the last pictures ever taken with our camera. We were on the way to the Ashburn 10K, when we asked someone to take our picture. He was nice enough to take the picture, and then dropped the camera while handing it back. And now it's broken.

After opening it up, taking it apart, and putting it back together again, I delivered the bad news to it's family. It's in a better place now. One free of people who'll be so careless with it. So now we have a new camera.

In other "great" news, Laura took Caelan to the doctor and he wasnt gaining weight as fast as they expected him to. So now it's back to supplementing with formula....again. The doctor even lovingly told Laura she may want to give up breastfeeding, because the pressure and stress was taking such a toll on her.

And on top of THAT, my company terminated our health insurance for no reason, Madison is losing fur on her chin (we think it's just feline acne), and Caelan still demands to be held when sleeping instead of using his not-so-inexpensive crib.

Everyone says it gets better. So that's this week's mantra. Like last week. And the week before that. And last month. But, I guess, looking back, it's MUCH better than the first few weeks. So I guess "getting better" really means "it improves, but then you have other stuff that starts to come up and you have to deal with that."
