There is no excuse for the lapse in my blogging, but I'll just list a few anyways.
-selling our house
-cleaning the house constantly for showings
-packing to move
-moving out of state
-applying for jobs (well, husbands job...)
-couldn't find my cable to download pics
-unpacking and lots of organizing
-kids keep me too busy day and night
-too tired because Jack doesn't sleep thru the night and acts like he is going to die if I'm not holding or plugging him
-do you want more?...
I can't believe we have been in Utah now for 3 weeks. Everyone is so nice and we are really enjoying our new home. We've experienced a lot of cold and snow-more than I ever wanted. The boys are adjusting to all of the changes quite well. Gavin is working on potty training and he now sleeps in a big boy bed. Although Jackson has not joined him in their room yet because it seems like every time he starts sleeping through the night something interrupts his cycle. Yes, I am sad to say that Jack, who is 8 months old, to my dismay, is still not sleeping through the night. I thought he would be trained by 3 months but because his digestive system did not cooperate we have had quite a mess on our hands with that. Kids are sooo different. Gavin's infancy seems so uneventful and easy now compared to Jack's. On top of the digestive problems he is also quite the screamer. He cries so loudly and vehemently that we think he might pop a blood vessel and this is all if the boob is not pacifying him. After moving here and dealing with these restless and tramautic nights with him I have finally decided he's going to have to just cry if anyone wants me to be a loving and patient mother throughout the day. Well, and night, since Lance works until 12:00 am... Jackson is really cute and so grown up lately. He stands in the closet and pulls out toys from the toy drawers that he wants to play with. He is also his brothers crawling shadow, though a little slower than Gavin. It's so fun to see their brotherly love develop.
Good news: we have already had the stomache flu that lasts a week (thanks to our first Sunday in nursery) so we are now immune! Whew, glad to get that out of the way.
We are excited for family and friends to visit us. You are all welcome anytime! We miss you! We have had a great welcome from family that live here though and that has helped soothe the wounds of leaving both sets of our parents and siblings behind a little.
