I am sad that I have not recorded any of our happenings very well recently. We have had so many it has been difficult to keep up on actually carrying out those happenings, let alone journaling about them. Even now, I wonder if tomorrow, I will regret not sleeping right now....

Some things I really want recorded in our family year book, so I will make the effort right now, even if it means sacrificing some precious sleep.

Miles is the sweetest little baby. I thought that we lucked out with Lydia, as far as baby's temperaments go. Miles seems to be even milder! He does not like cold wet wipes on his bum, and taking baths (mainly because I think he gets cold), and passing his poo seems to bother him, but other than that, this little guy is just a chill little one.
I love his little cry. It's more like a little whimper and I love it! Never thought I'd say that I like the sound of his cry, but it really is quite adorable.

I am so happy that the long trip doesn't seem to have affected his health, he is growing and is healthy (Last I weighed him was a couple of days ago and he was 8.6 pounds). I am still concerned a little only because I haven't been able to take him in for check-ups since we've arrived here because we have no insurance coverage yet.

We are still working on the nursing thing....It seems as though I have a bit of trouble in that area, but all is well, Lydia turned out all right I guess. :)
Lydia is struggling adjusting a little bit I think. Not necessarily obvious conversation and such, but just in her demeanor. She is just really really defiant and having a difficult time listening and being obedient. She is still her rambunctious cute little self, just slightly grumpier and emotionally unstable....

We are slowly settling in to our new home in my parents' house. We are so grateful to them for putting us up until I get hear from medical schools. Lydia is already enjoying being with Grandma and Grandpa very much. She misses them when they are gone and is becoming quite the little manipulator! If I say no, she goes and asks Daddy, if he says no, she finds Grandma or Grandpa...or Aunt Rachel...

We found that we will not qualify for in-state tuition for another 6 months! So Chris has decided find a job now and allow me to be home as much as possible to be with the two little stinkers before I start medical school. I am thoroughly enjoying having no deadlines and school work to stress about. It has been a wonderful little break.

I will now attempt to post some pictures and such of our journeys this past month.
