well rested......FINALLY : )

Last night I slept, ALL night, without drugs!  Tonight I am hoping for the same, but we'll see, it feels like midnight to me but it's only 5:30.  Today's visit went better, Sawyer only fussed a little and didn't want me to dress him, but he went with me willingly.  I see at home it is supposed to be 82 and sunny today!  It is COLD here, it didn't get above freezing all day and we got a light dusting of snow, but they still let the kids outside and we had fun.  At first we played in the courtyard with one of the nannies (one of their favorites) and Kenzie was being very clingy to her.  She kept directing Kenzie to come to me and play with me and Sawyer but she wasn't having any of that!  She gave me a tongue lashing when I kicked the soccer ball she had intended for the nanny and then the nanny gave her a tongue lashing for talking to me that way!  I don't want to start any bad habits but it was hard not to laugh at her.  After a little while I asked if I could take the kids to the playground for some alone time, with all the little ones begging for attention it is hard to bond!  We played on the teeter-totter, slide, and Sawyer gave his stick a ride on the merry go round.  Kenzie got brave and let me help her climb up the little monkey bars and then she decided that she should be the one to catch Sawyer at the bottom of the slide!  Not the best idea since he outweighs her, but I let her think she was doing it.  I told her that Sawyer is her brother forever now and then she started calling him brother in Russian!  Too cute!  I think we should have named him Sherman....as in Sherman Tank!  He is SO strong and he just goes!  Fall down, get up, hit my head? whatever- didn't feel it, I see a lot of casts in our future!

  5. Glad your feeling better it won't be long now. Looking forward to seeing you and the kids, hope you have somethings planned for all of us to do. Sam, I haven't heard from Jo today so I don't know if he made it home today. Yes the weather is unusually warm for this time of year,has been breaking records in the Valley.Glad you got some quality sleep I'm sure you needed it. We are getting anxious to see you and our new Grandkids. Jon said Sawyer is a chunk and Kenzie likes to emulate you. Be strong and hang in there, we will be there before you know it, love Mom and Dad.

  6. so happy you got a good nights sleep!! It does make a world of difference. Danny was the same way, he would fall, trip you name it and it never seemed to hurt him. he hardly ever cried. Turns out it was cause he was so used to no one paying any attention to his boo boos that he just ignored them. We used to make a big deal out of them and at first he thought we were crazy!

  7. Sounds like an awesome day! Glad you got some "real" rest (you may not be getting much of that for a while). Looking forward to your return and to meeting your new additions. Stay well and warm, we don't even need a jacket here right now, the weather's perfect... although not very festive.
    Love ya, Ranelle
