Need Sleep

Well, we've managed to mend this month. We've gotten through most of the winter and managed to get to a fairly even keel the past few days. So naturally, G starts drooling up a storm and being super cranky. He's got a tooth or two coming in some more, or he is simply growing. Based on his chubbyness as of late, the growing thing may be up there. We continue to have issues with his ears and are trying to find an alternative to look at to putting tubes in. We shall see when the battle comes to the ENT the beginning of April.

A is having a blast at school and learning all the things she shouldn't.  We are having a difficult time teaching her that she can act a certain way around her friends but not her parents. Also, difficulty in her using phrases we'd rather she didn't that she learns from people in authority at school. They don't allow the children to cry and regularly reward with candy. This is driving us nuts, and only a year or so before we have to worry about kindergarten at this stage.

Work for me has been good. I've gotten a title change, and a few things removed from my plate. Hopefully we can find someone new to help me out even more, so we shall see. There have been several applicants, but none that really seem like they'll fit in, so we leave the position open for now. 

Chris is going nuts at work. His role is constantly becoming less defined which increases the frustration level. I think his work is better at communication (or lack thereof) causing issues. Oh, and who is responsible for said communication.

I got to play handbells today for church. A lady has a two week old, so I got to play her bells. I'm not sure I like small bells...I had the A/B so got the naturally discordant seventh note on occasion. I got all the important accidentals as well, so go me! I'll continue to play these bells until she feels like she can play them, then I'll go back to subbing in on an as needed basis.

Chris and I even managed to drop the kids at church this past Friday. That was probably the highlight of our week. We left the kids in the care of the youth group which is trying to raise funds for a mission trip to Costa Rica. Daunting, but we took them up on it. We manged to help some people move (it wasn't us moving this time!) and got to know them a little as they are just moving down the road.

This week we also had some ice, and here are a few of the photos. I took a quick video of the kids skidding down the ice at the park near us, so if you want the link just e-mail me and I'll shoot it to you.
