Pictureless...
So thanks for the patience... Monday (?) I tried to upload more pics from my camera to be met with a really slow computer so stopped... lest I max out my computer again. And no, Wade, still never transferred the videos over - intimidated perhaps. So you ask... why haven't you at least finished uploading the ones on your computer?
Late the week before or so?, Mom and Dad were met at our house by a fridge/freezer that was off. Managed to save some stuff and put it in the deep freeze. Slushy breast milk. Very frustrated. Saved the hard stuff but still not convinced I'm gonna use it. Decided that since I was off on Wednesday, we should go ahead and move to the apartment since the fridge there was reliable....
Started throwing stuff together, Greg takes loads over during the weekend. Tuesday afternoon I'm off for the month (mooching out this "maternity leave" stuff) so Mom and I pack up the kitchen. Wednesday we move and are in by noon... unpack the rest of the day. Eat one last sup with the parents and they are gone! Work on unpacking somemore Thursday afternoon until daycare calls to report that Meg is having diarrhea so I have to go get her. Granted, normal poop at home although bright red butt-ed.
Still frustrated with the freezer here... but decide it's good enough... Multiple work orders have been placed without response. Go by grocery store on Friday night cause Meg's out of milk. Note: by afternoon on Saturday, the child has drunk more than a 1/3 of a gallon... Sat night go for a full exploration trip to Krogers - pleasantly surprised. Multiple circles looking for frozen fruit to finally find the 5 or 6 options shoved next to the ice cream. HEB for that definitely...
Sat night and Sunday keep complaining about the freezer - sometimes colder than other times. Sun afternoon (after uneventful church trip...) finally had it with the freezer, throw afit pretty much, and demand that we go get the unplugged freezer from the old house (thank you greg for your patience)... guy finally comes while we are at small group --- new thermostat for the freezer.
So here we are. At least we got the internet up and running. Realized we have to get a new router - comcast provides for free it seems. And can we say... the comcast DVR setup stinks... I digress... If this is the least I have to complain about, I guess it will be okay...
But the breastmilk thing is very frustrating!!!

Trick or Treat

Meg figured out the whole candy thing not too far from the end - with it enough to dig into Nanny's bowl sitting out :)

Little Cuddler

You are a clingy little boy - fussier today than usual. Not so much fussy actually, but just wanting to be held constantly. Okay, guess that's fussy. It just isn't usual for you to want to nurse ALL day... Daddy says he's "cutting you off", but I think I'll keep cuddling when I can - you won't want to forever... And, let's face it, you just look way too sad when you pout :( .
PS: This is when you say "Bob, your manual exposures on your SLR are awesome! :) "

You wanted to hold your brother the minute you got home tonight - in the middle of the driveway... And then came inside and "biper" meant you wanted your brother to get a new diaper... And then you tried to pick him up off the couch and declared him "heavy" - a word we didn't know you knew until you used it.


We do love how much you love your brother, Meg. And to think we were concerned about him ruining your world. Granted, you still go through days where you feel very neglected and want Mommy much more than normal... mostly when she's otherwise occupied. But you love your "bubba" and can't be trusted alone because you love him too much and want to crawl on him on the couch!



You have started to get frustrated in the car after school because you want to touch and play with your brother sitting next to you... and don't want to be buckled in. It will be interesting to see what happens at daycare once you figure out that your brother is in the room right next to you - with the open doorway... wonder if you know his cry and will announce it to your teachers?

A Good Foundation

This was our house earlier this week... Greg said that as of today we have a foundation. They say that by the end of next week we will be framed! Hard to do all that midst all the rain - they said on the news yesterday we had 4.5 inches...
When we were there last weekend, we made friends with neighbors. They actually come up and talk to you in this neighborhood... talked to more people than we have in the last year here. Lots of kids it seems near Meghan's age so hopefully we'll have lots of little buddies to play with.
