Just Another Week

We had some great weather earlier in the week.  In fact, I didn't even wear a coat on Tuesday when we were out running errands.  But, the rest of the week we've had several days of very cold weather and snow.  It seems like several members of this house were very interested in this weather change.






People ask me all the time what we call Daniel.  Right now we call him by his given name.  We do have some nicknames for him that we use at home, but nothing outside the house.  One of those nicknames is “D-dog”.  Any reason why?

Daniel has not been sleeping well since he started teething.  Lately he’s been waking up 2-3 times a night.  We think he has a little separation anxiety and is looking for us.  We know it is just a stage, but I really did enjoy those nights where he slept 10-11 hours straight. 
Even though he gets up in the middle of the night, it doesn't stop him from being active during his waking hours.  His newest trick is to use Nicholas’ head to help him stand up.  Nicholas is a good sport and lets him.  Daniel loves playing with Nicholas.  They even “wrestle” (I’m watching them like a hawk during this time).

Nicholas admitted to me that he is still having a hard time sharing us with Daniel.  He understands that Daniel needs us, but it is still hard on him.  We’re doing our best to give him some special one-on-one time.  We’re also in the works of planning his birthday party for next month.  We’re doing something extra special this year since he’s had a bit of an adjustment.  Also, his brother’s birthday will be a big deal, so we don’t want to make it any harder on him.  I think Nicholas is going to have a great birthday this year!




I’m starting a Bible study at church this coming Monday morning.  Evan will be with the boys while I’m there.  It will be a good chance for him to see just how active life is at our house now.  It will also be nice for me to get away and be with some adults.  I’m sure that Evan will have a good time though.  Who wouldn't have a good time with these guys?





That about wraps it up.   Just another ordinary week at our house.
