Tell me that picture doesn't make you want to smile right back at her! We're working through my going back to work and how that effects us all. I'm loving being back but JD and Lilah are very slowly finding a groove. He says she won't let him put her down...I've been there so I understand but *HOPE* they'll work through it. GG's having an easier time of it on Sunday. I'm definitely finding that it's challenging settling back into a routine with her on the weekdays. By the end of the week she's going down easily at night but on Monday and Tuesday (etc) she's *fussy* going down and this week slept for three and four hour stretches at night instead of our 7-9 hours that we're getting used to. What's that about?!? Anyway, it's all a part of it, I guess, and I'm just glad that it's only two days a week that I'm working (also glad for the help and loving care for my kids on the weekend!).
Speaking of work...
Let me preface this by saying I don't watch the news because I think that it's largely full of stories to induce fear in the public. I'm aware that not watching the news makes me ignorant to many current events or political leaders but I'll take the trade off.
So saying that let me just say...I've tested a whole lot of positive flu type A (swine flu) in children these past few weekends. Enough to make me feel like my big girls are covered with germs when they come home from school. Enough to make me fear that it might find it's way into our home. It doesn't help that the Alabama Dept of Public Health sent all health care workers a magazine size handbook entitled "Preparing for Pandemic Flu". For the love of all that is good, reading through that makes you feel like the world might come to an end (ie: it tell you to store up all this food and water and to prepare to not be able to leave your home for weeks on end EXCEPT if you are a health care worker and then you should basically prepare to live at the facility where you work while you 'do you part' in nursing the sick back to health).
SEE, this is why I shut the news out. Instead I should go read Matthew 6:27, right? We'll survive, I'm sure;)
October is coming soon, ya'll! Yea for fall!

TOO CUTE:)
Oh my. That picture made me smile all over. So adorable. She smiles with her eyes! Raleigh and Bailey do that and I love it!
Don't tell me that flu stuff. I am paranoid enough and my hubby is even worse. I won't tell him. ;)
You are right! That picture is too cute. She is getting to be such a big girl. Don't worry about the sleeping thing. Most babies hit a growth spurt around 3 months and it does that to them. I'm sure she will be past it soon! What a sweetheart. I hope you are able to stay away from the flu--hope we are all!
I threw that book in the trash- HA! I am just sick of hearing about it. I take alot of Vitamin C, get rest, etc. and am not worried about it. It's such a fuss!
