computer trouble

I think our computer's got a virus.  So...rather than waste a lot of time downloading pictures and having it not work or take forever...I will wait and get our Christmas pics on after our computer gets fixed.  We had a wonderful Christmas in Spencer and are anxiously awaiting the new year when we can celebrate Christmas with my family.  I will get my pics on the blog and Shutterfly as soon as I get my computer back.

3 months old

Here is Colby by the bear last Monday at three months old.  I can't believe a whole week has gone by, let alone three months!  He is getting so big.  He is holding his head up really well.  He loves to babble and laugh at his sister.  He has been doing very well at day care.  He seems to like it there.  We are having so much fun watching him grow each and every day.  We are blessed.

back to work

Well, I survived my first official week back to work last week.  While I was not excited about it, it could have been a lot worse.  I hate that I have to work, but at least I like my job. That sure helps! Colby did fabulous in day care.  He was asleep when I left him the first day, so that made it easy on me.  The teachers said he was a little confused when he woke up, but before long he was smiling and talking to them.  So glad he is doing well there.  I am lucky enough to be able to go nurse Colby over lunch every day.  (or almost anyway.) I did that with Becky too for a while (until she started crying when I left after feeding her!) It was quite an adjustment for all of us to get back into the swing of things, and we all slept an extra two hours each day this weekend trying to catch up on missed sleep!  So glad we've only got one more full week and then two short ones when we get to spend time with family!


Last weekend, Al and I went down to Kansas City on Saturday. We met Mark (who Al works with) and his wife Beth.  We went out in the Power and Light District on Saturday night.  It was neat.  We had a lot of fun.  Here we are ready to go to the Chiefs game on Sunday.
 Al spotted this guy walking to the game, so I had to snap a picture!

 Colby asleep in his swing - Grandpa and Grandma wore him out!
 Becky had a play date last week.  It was bring a friend to dance night, so she chose her friend Asialin from school.  After dance, they came back here for supper and to play a little bit.  They had a lot of fun!

 Colby sitting in his Bumbo.  He hung out there for a while and watched Becky and me play a game.  He's getting so big!
 I couldn't decide which picture I liked best, so you get both of them!
Have a great week everyone.  I know I'm not looking forward to another week of work, but such is life!  At least I've got the first week out of the way and our routine somewhat established, so this week has got to be a little smoother than the last.
