Isaiah and Ngaire

Today we spent a couple of hours with our friends who live nearby. They are another young couple with a daughter named Ngaire (rhymes with fiery). Eventually everyone had to go to a play practice except me (I try to avoid stages), so I volunteered to watch both babies while everyone else was busy. This was fine until both babies wanted to be held and rocked. While I managed to bonk my own son's head on the side of the rocking chair, I eventually got them both in my lap and rocking. Unfortunately, Ngaire doesn't like to share laps while cuddling. I tried various positions until both of the babies were hysterically crying. It was then that my friend rushed in to save her daughter from my clutches...or save me from the clutches of two screaming babies...whichever you prefer. Another reason I am glad I did not get my wish and have twins!

Of Mice and Me

Ok, so it has been a long time since I have written. Lately my mouse has been driving me crazy. I try to scroll over to things and it constantly sticks. After a few days and thoughts of going to my Mom's house to get a mouse from my old computer floated through my head, I had an epiphany. I would use my brain. I popped the bottom off of the mouse, and low and behold the inside was all full of dust. I guess the little rubber ball (yes I have an old mouse) was picking up dust and depositing it all of this time. Isn't it great to discover obvious fixes for things sometimes?

happy day

Ok, so things weren't going very well when I last posted. Since I have been accused of only writing bad things down in journals, I will write that things have been going well now. I still don't get everything done that I want to do, but I do enjoy things more. Isaiah has been sleeping very well, so I have more time that I don't have to hold him. I am getting slightly more done, and I am getting more help from Chris. This weekend we went to Isaiah's Grandy's house to meet lots more family and people in her life. That was a lot of fun, but Isaiah got a little bit tired of seeing so many people after a while. He was pretty patient though, and everyone loved him. He is so adorable when he smiles at us, and he loves to talk and interact. He concentrates so hard when we talk to him, and it is so great to see him learning every day!
