transformation

Since we've been back home we've had lots of people around and our house has benefitted. The yard and kitchen look like they've been transformed. We've got the brick area back in the front yard, the trees have been trimmed enough to see the house, the broken bird bath has been pieced back together. the kitchen cabinets cleaned and polished and, from the generousity of many, a mini flower nursery is set up on top of the aquarium.

Samantha is a very peaceful baby. We had a jaundice problem up until yesterday so we've made several "fun" outings to the lab for blood sticks. Yesterdays came back good so no more! Yea!

Danielle is having some problems adjusting to less attention. There was so much commotion this weekend then last night a breakdown at bedtime. At least she is able to verbalize that she feels she is not getting enough attention "nobody plays with me." Right now she and Grandmama have gone to the movie then to see her Pop before heading home. Tonight Trey will watch Samantha so Danielle and I can spend some time together.

Trey had to head back to work today. He got a good night's sleep so I think we'll be getting into more of a routine this week.

Thanks for all of your nice compliments. I'll post more photos when I get a chance.

When Emlyn is having a breakdown I either send her upstairs to calm down or just hug her a lot and let her tell me why she's sad. I hope Danielle gets used to it all quickly!

So glad you are home and things are good. It's a big adjustment to go from only-child to big sister. Danielle will come around. It's good that you are taking the time to spend some one-on-one time with her.

I'm glad everthing is settling down for you with the new arrival. I'm sure Danielle will adjust as she trades off the "less sole attention" for more of "the big sis extra special duties."
Mum and Dad will both let her know what a big help she is too!
