Happenings

We have kept pretty busy the last week and a half.  Leila and Greydon have had several playdates with friends (which has been a blessing for me, I love my kids and all but going it alone is so draining and being able to have a couple hours to myself is heaven).  We've gone to dinner at friend's houses which again is another blessing, so thank you friends! We've done a lot of deep cleaning at our house and selling things we don't use anymore.  I've made a bunch of freezer meals so we are prepared for when the baby comes or just to have now when I don't feel like cooking.  Leila started preschool again and she loves it, I just wish it was more then two days a week.  I didn't even get a picture on the first day of preschool because we were having car issues and had to be rescued by friends so maybe I'll get one this week and we'll just pretend it's the first day of school.  I've read a bunch of books lately, it's what I do since nights can be pretty lonely without my husband around.  I just finished The Room, it was pretty good, kind of sad but overall I liked it.  I had a doctor's appointment today and me and the baby are doing well.  I'm measuring right on and not having any complications other then tons and tons of braxton hicks contractions.  Paul's doing well in New Jersey, he's on call a lot but liking the program.  He's probably going to New York City this weekend with his sister, I'm super jealous.  We miss him a lot, I caught Greydon with my phone the other day yelling into it for daddy and getting really upset when Paul wasn't on the other end responding, so sad.  We are surviving and mostly due to the fact that we have great friends who are looking out for us, I can't tell you what a wonderful ward we have and how blessed we are to be a part of it. 

Last Friday we went to Bounce U and the kids loved it and wore themselves out. 






And then I just had to throw this picture in of Greydon, he loves markers and he loves lipstick and he loves to use the markers as lipstick.  I keep hiding all the markers but he keeps finding them, not sure what I'm going to do with this boy.

Oh Alisha, I feel your pain. I am over this single mom thing...and I haven't been at it as long as you. And you are eight months pregnant. Bless you girl! I am glad you are all settled back in Vegas again, but sad we didn't hang out more while you were here. I am coming for a week in October so we'll have to hang.

Hang in there, I am sooo glad that chapter of my life is over and that much closer to the end....I L-O-V-E Greydon's make up adventures, they always make me laugh! I almost didn't recognize him he has grown and changed so much! Our babies are no longer babies, but little boys!
