There is no price on Mommies!
I would expect that none of you are awake right now, but me..it is 3:00 in the morning over here, and Xavier has been waking up quite a few times tonight, which is OK because I havent been able to get to my "deep sleep" stage as of yet...and I have been having quite a time sleeping in any position becasue I have a cramp in my side...so since I am awake now, I thought what better time to update my blog than now! So here I am in the middle of the night listening to the silence...which I have to admit I have not heard for a while..the only thing I hear is the humm of the computer and an occassional "ayeyaeyae" from my little sleep keeper upstairs as he talks himself to sleep...There hasnt been too many new things going on here..Jordan is at his second job mowing lawns full time now after work, and I am at my full time job as a mommy... You know that I read on the internet that some people did research on what the salary of a stay at home mom would be if they got paid for everyrthing they do..the total came out to $138,000 a year..Wouldnt it be nice if us moms got paid that much! Im sure there would be many more stay at home mommys if we got paid that much, and Im sure that men would rule the work force...
Xavier has been growing like a weed, and I think that his teeth are finally thinking about showing their pearly white faces! I think they are what keeps us up at such a fine hour tonight...
And I cant wait (thats an understatement) until he is sleeping throught the night. By about the time that happens there will be another cry in this house to keep me up at night...what a vicious cycle...im seriously thinking, another rocking chair upstairs wouldnt hurt.At least I wouldnt have to count my way downstairs in the darkness.
The weather here has been getting really nice, and most days are perfect beach days, now if I can convince Xavier that the beach is as much fun as I think it is, we'll be making that walk there everyday! And I can start my tan.Its been between 20-24 here, so the furnace is of for the season, and the windows are all open during the day letting the sea breeze sweep into my home and tease me to come out and enjoy the fine day.Every day is a beach day. Soon it will get too hot to be outside and the windows will me all shut to keep out the humid air and Ill have all my airconditioners cranked to full blast, and be as still as I can, so that I dont work up a sweat walking from the living room to the kitchen! Thankfully those days are not here yet! And I will go outside everyday until I cant anymore! I love the summer!

Well, I'm up, but that's because it's four in the afternoon on this side of the globe.
Glad to get an update, and hear that you are doing well. I think I mentioned Hyland's teething tablets before (WalMart carries them) -- do give them a try if you haven't yet. They're all natural, and they were SO helpful with Cole and Nora. Orajel-type rubs only help on the surface, but the tablets seem to help with painful teeth moving deeper in the gums. Also try freezing a wet washcloth and letting Xavier chew on that. It'll feel good on his gums.
Give Jordan a big hello from us, please, and tell him we're so pleased with how things have come together for you guys, due in no small part by all his hard work. You make a good team. I'm so glad you'll be able to stay home with my great niece/nephew.
Go get some rest now!
Much love,
Aunt Kate
Being the true Proverbs 31 woman now (did I mention you're done with training?) you know that your worth is far above rubies and you are a treasure to not only your husband and babies, but also to everyone else who knows you.
I'm so proud of you, sweetie. Thank you for all you do. Jordan has the best wife God could have perfectly formed for him as his helpmate, and I have the best friend I could dream of having in a second daughter.
I thank God for you daily.
Mommy
Oh the throes of teething...been there, done that...and survived!
Keep up the great job you do as a mommy!! You're right about the priceless part...eventhough it can be a very trying occupation, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Blessings today!! Love ya, Tante Tetcy

Those sleepless nights? Hmm, that brings back memories. Specially with Caleb. I don't know how many times we watched that farming tape. When I hear the music now, I can still picture wich part of the movie goes with it.
Good thing it is only temporary.
Love you guys, DAD
I'm so glad to hear the updates! And that you are doing so well with Xavier and my little Nephiece. :) I was thinking today that I am going to need to call you sometime and have you put the phone to your stomach so she (or he?) can get used to her (or his?) tante's voice as soon as possible! So I'll be doing that this week(end) sometime. Just because I'm not there does not mean that baby won't know who I am. :)
I love you and Jordan and miss you all the time! I was watching some friends I know here who are brother and sister (he's the older one) and it made me miss Jordan. You need to get Skype, I think. It's free, easy to download and way easy to use. Like MSN messenger, but with video! Check into it. :)
I want to see more pictures of your wonderful belly! You are growing how you need to grow; don't worry about the weight.
I LOVE YOU and miss you always. I'll update more often now. :)
<3 your other other other other Sister ;)
Hey Di,
I haven't talked to you in ages. I would just send you an email, but I' supposed to be writing my Philosophy tak-home final exam. I'd better get on that. Just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you and praying for you.
Drop me an email (if you have time) ok?
Love you much!
~ Mary
