Pictures and lack of sleep!

Things have been going fine with us. Dave is now back at work which was hard for both me (Emily) and Jack. Jack is struggling with Claire still being here! She is really on the move now and is constantly making a bee-line for his train table. Anyone who knows Jack knows the train table is sacred territory. He still loves the idea of Claire being his little sister, but the reality of it is certainly setting in now. He has a cold too, which hasn't helped. He did have a great week at preschool last week, and he is looking forward to it again. His teachers are great and he has a good time with his friends.

Sleep has been hard to come by at our house for the last week. We thought we were on the up hill swing on that front, but we took a few steps backward. Jack has had a hard time staying in bed and wants lots of attention...at 2am. Claire has been consistently waking at least once in the night and we are trying to strike a healthy balance of soothing her and teaching her to sleep through the night. So, we are usually up 3-4 times per night at the moment and we are both feeling too old for this!

We took a trip to the local orchard for their 80th anniversary celebration. We picked apples, looked at tractors, rode a horse and played in their play area. It was beautiful out and we had a nice time.

Here are a few photos from the last week.
