Today is day one of a five day weekend. Hooray! I worked long, long hours yesterday and got all my work done so I didn't have to go into the office today. As a matter of fact, my home office is being set up tomorrow and I'll be able to do all my work from home. So exciting. I took Grace to the office with me yesterday and she did so good! I took our portable travel swing and she sat there and loved every minute. I held her every once in a while, but she had more fun staring at the lights or watching the swing mobile more than anything. While all went well, it will be so nice to keep her home and out of this cold, rainy weather we're having.
Alliah and Angel went to Awanas last night. Today they are studying their memory verses so they can begin earning badges. Alliah already has one badge, and one pin with two jewels. Angel's lessons are a little bit harder than Alliah's so he's still working on getting his awards. They are still loving Grace more than ever. Angel is very protective of her, while Alliah is very motherly. Such great kids I have.
And as for Miss Grace, her sleeping habits are improving. We now go about 3 to 3-1/2 hours and then a feeding of THREE ounces and diaper change. She is sleeping in her crib all night, too, and we have just a 15 watt bulb in our lamp. Next week we're going to try to turn off all the lights and see what happens. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Grace was in the NICU for two weeks...where they never turn off the lights. She had never been in the dark so on her first night at home, she freaked out when we turned off the lights to go to sleep. Since then, we leave on a lamp so she's not afraid. We've been making it darker and darker every couple of days. She's so funny. Life is even greater with her around.
OH! I almost forgot...Larry got me a gift! I came home from work yesterday and found the most beautiful upright piano in my living room. It's not new, but it is very nice. A friend of Larry's is moving to Oregon and he said he didn't want to take it. Larry asked about it and it was given to us for free! The keys need a little bit of TLC, but it plays wonderfully. I felt so loved and appreciated by my husband. Even more than that, I am thankful that he treasures the gifts God has given me and wants to make sure I continue to use them for His glory. Well, Grace WAS alseep, but I hear her starting to grunt LOL Gotta go...
