Bedtime

Bedtime is getting so much easier! Hardly any crying and screaming. We just tell Jaina that it's time to go night-night, change her and take her to bed, and tell her to lay down and cover up. We walk out of the room and haven't been hearing anything until morning. It's nice. This whole crying herself to sleep EVERY night was not going so well for me.

I was totally fascinated with this little guy.


Jaina and Daddy :)


Showing her the flowers

The Koi Pond

The flowers we couldn't let Jaina pick :(

The waterfall

Jaina and Daddy again... This is his favorite!

Oh, and I forgot to add that Jaina managed to still be awake at 1:00 AM since she just kind of napped off and on yesterday. Then this morning she was too much like her daddy and refused to wake up. She fell back to sleep on the way home from church this morning and is still asleep... she hasn't had anything but about 1/2 of a banana today, since that's all she would eat. I'm surprised she's not starving!

Busy

We had a wonderful and busy weekend! Friday after work we drove to Hot Springs to see Greg's Memaw. She had a pacemaker put in. She is home now and seems to be doing fine. Then we went to The Purple Cow and had milkshakes. Jaina had some of mine... just enough to make her want more! We stayed the night with my mom Friday night. Jordan and RC were at my mom's, so we got to hang out with them for a little while before we went to bed (I might add that Jaina got to sleep with her meme since my dad was working... so mommy and daddy got to go to bed without worrying about getting her to sleep!).

Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast with the family. We went to see my Granny for a little while and went to see my Grandpa and his wife (I may as well start calling her Grandma Betty like Jaina does...).

We took Jaina to Garvan Gardens. It was pretty fun and she really enjoyed it, although it was pretty hot and she fell asleep towards the end. I think she'll enjoy it more next year or the year after when she can walk longer and we won't have to take the stroller. I should have worn comfy shoes, but I guess I'll know next time. Jaina had lots of fun looking at the flowers, but I was a little disappointed. I thought there would be more flowers (and a bigger variety of flowers) and less woods. It was still a fun day and I really enjoyed spending time with my little family. :)

Ummm...

I just walked in the kitchen and there was water dripping out of the bottom of the dishwasher... great. Like I need something else.

Grey's Anatomy

The season finale was Thursday night. They apparently know their demographic and how to keep us waiting until next season!!! That's really the only show I watch on a regular basis. I guess I'm addicted to all the drama!

Soooooooooo tired.

Yesterday was loooooong... Had work from 8-5 and then a work meeting 5:30-7, then left Jaina with a friend so she could play with her grandson and I went to Wal-Mart. Jaina didn't get to bed until about 10:45 (her usual bedtime is 8). So I left at 7:30 AM and didn't get home until about 9:30 PM. I don't think I've recovered. Today was another tiring day and when I came home for lunch at 11 Jaina and Greg were both still asleep.

I think I'm headed to bed now...

Short and simple

I'd better update this thing before I get in trouble...

I'm back at work... half days and/or less than 3o hours. No more sleeping until 9:30. I don't like getting up before Jaina.

I can drive. I'm not confident enough in my driving abilities to drive any more than around town, but I can drive.

And now for the one I'm most excited about... My Mother's Day gift... Greg is painting the bedroom for me. :)
