Foot surgery, Birthing Class, & Jazz in the Garden

This was a pretty eventful week for the Grusy family. On Monday I had foot surgery on my left big toe. I injured the joint a long time ago playing soccer and the degenerative arthritis finally became too unbearable, so I decided to go under the knife. I love modern medicine.

Look how sweet my little Jen-Jen is to her old hubby. She took really good care of a pretty selfish and ungrateful patient. It's wonderful having a wife!

On Tuesday, we had our first out of seven birthing classes. It was a mixture of helpful information and weirdness. I started busting up when they dimmed the lights, had us sit on a blanket with closed eyes, and told us to go to our "special place." Hopefully next week we either won't have to go back to the special place, or I'll be able to keep it together when we go there.

On Friday, we went to the Sculpture Garden outside of the National Gallery of Art with our friends Kevin and Melissa. Every Friday during the summer they have live Jazz there, and, the best part for a young not very wealthy couple...it's totally free. We had a fun time eating a picnic dinner, listening to good music, and hanging out.
