A Minute with the Martins and a July Update

Here's something new just for you. We've started a series of video clips I'm calling "A Minute with the Martins." It's a glimpse into our daily lives in one minute segments. Being new parents, I am figuring most will be about Eli, of Eli, or have to do with Eli in some form or fashion. But who knows what else could happen.

Here's the update...

Eli now weighs just over 8 and 1/4 lbs. That's just about 4 times his lowest weight in the hospital. We are also now getting to sleep about 6-8 hours most nights. The down side is that our "night" usually starts sometime between midnight and 2:00 a.m. but sleep is sleep, and it's more than we used to get.We will be taking a trip this next week that I am calling the "Great Grandparent's Tour" We will spend a whirlwind trip down through East Texas and into Houston. At each stop we'll get a photo with Eli's Great Grandparents, none of which have seen him yet. We'll also see family and friends, and catch the last Harry Potter movie.

We are just about through summer, shhh don't tell Meagan, but soon school will begin. We are trying to enjoy these last weeks that we have together, with Eli, before the daily routine kicks in. Pray for us as we seek to find someone to watch Eli during the day while we are at work.

It was great to have family up for 4th of July. Miranda, Grumps and Honey (Russell's Dad and Mom) came up for a few days and got to spend time with Eli. Somewhere there is a video of Russell eating Sushi for the first time in many years.
