Packing on the ozs



We have been weighing Avangeline on Wednesdays, there is a breastfeeding clinic in Hunters Ridge. So from last week we have gained 10 oz!!! This is the biggest gain we have had overall... So now we are up to 9lb 10oz. She is the happiest little thing until 2-3 am gets here and then she is very hard to please. I hope this passes soon as I can only go without sleep for so long.

Everyone here is over all of the illness that has been going around. (Knock on wood). We were hit so hard that I thought we were going to have to fumigate the house. I have been fighting a cold this week, but I am sure that a lot of that had to do with lack of sleep. So now the weather needs to make up it's mind and act like spring so that we can take the kids out to run off there energy. I took them to the park last Friday and let them play for an hour. That night we were letting them stay up past bed time and Ezra came to us about 30 min later and asked if he could go to bed. And now a week later they are balls of energy again.

Mom and Dad leave for a cruise today, I am so jealous... I told Jason last night that I want to go sit on a warm beach and soak up some sun. Can you feel it??? I will have to settle for my day dream. It has been fun to watch them get excited about this trip, I think it is as much of an adventure as a vacation. With them being gone I have had to rally the troops to make sure that all of my children have a point of contact, for their daily activities. Mom and Bob (Jason's parents) have signed up to take a huge chunk of the responsibility. I think Ezra and Grandpa will enjoy some one on one time. Thank you to all who are helping out!

I received my evaluation from work yesterday and one of the things on the sheet that you have to fill out is your career aspirations. So one of the questions is "Are you willing to relocate?" I wanted to put "only if you will relocate my parents, in-laws, daycare provider..." Now that I am back to work it is becoming very obvious just how crazy our live is. And without all of the support we receive just how impossible it would be...
