June 14, 2008 - It was a good day!

On Saturday, Victoria, Tommy & Myself, went to the Portsmouth Market Square Day. We walked around, looked at all the venders boothes, ate some of the delicious food (lobst'a roll & chowd'a), went into the stores for shopping, and at one point, after several hours of this, Victoria said to me, "Mom, we're having such a nice day together." That made my day.

This week, Victoria starts personal training. She has been really looking forward to it. I hope she learns some techniques she never knew before and also hope she feels more comfortable around the exercise machines at the gym. Cardio she's had down pat for a long while. Now onto the bigger and better stuff.

This morning, Steve, Tommy & I went to breakfast. It was a nice quiet morning in Durham. Ahhh. The good life!

Tommy & Braden

I thought I'd share the video of Tommy & Braden, taken back in April, while we were staying in Miami. Two cute little boys, with two very cute dispositions. We get to see Braden again for 4th of July. We can't wait!

June 4th, 2008

Sleep. It's been over 8 months since the last time I can remember being able to sleep for longer than a 4-hour stretch at best. Last night was terrible. Tommy went to bed around 9:30pm, only to wake up at 11pm. Then again at 1am. The problem at 1, was he wanted to play. He was not ready to go to sleep. At 2am, Steve put him in the car and drove around for half an hour, only to return w/ a crying baby. Steve put Tommy in the crib, shut his door, shut our door, and said, "He cried the whole time. What kind of baby doesn't fall asleep on a car-ride at 2am?" So, he finally quietted down by 3am. I went in to check on him and make sure he was covered up. Guess what time he woke up for the day? 5am.

My guess is it's new teethe coming in. He seemed to enjoy a teether I gave him this morning on the ride to daycare. I love him to pieces, but I need some sleep so I can function. What is going wrong? Victoria slept all night at 6 weeks, but she started waking at night when her first two teeth cut at 4 months. She would wake only once, maybe twice at night, but I don't remember it as a terrible thing either. I wonder why Tommy just won't sleep longer.

It's raining here in Portsmouth today. Very blah. And I'm tired.

Steve's taking Jake to a Redsox game. All of Jake's class is going, and Steve asked if he could buy extra tickets for Logan & Will too. Hopefully the game doesn't get rained out. Last night, Jake asked me if I'd buy him some red & blue face paint....I did. Should be interesting!

Hugs to everyone reading this. I miss you.
