Just a quick update this gloomy Black Friday! The kids and I are up in Edmonds - we arrived Wednesday night and had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday with our immediate family and my mom's friend Kathleen. We really missed Lyndon though!! In case you didn't know, Lyndon loves to cook and is such a huge help in the kitchen - he and my mom just have a great time together on holidays! Luckily The Ferguson's invited Lyndon to their Thanksgiving gathering - so he wasn't alone and we are so thankful for such great friends! In fact we have much to be thankful for this year! Although it's easy to focus on how hard it is to be away from Lyndon, we just have to remind ourselves that this is a small sacrifice we are making in order to spend the rest of our years together!!!
We had every intention of travelling to Portland this weekend to spend time with family and friends down there but the kids are under the weather so that had to be cancelled. Yesterday morning started with me taking Isaac to the ER (since we haven't changed our insurance yet) and he has Conjunctivitis (pink eye). It's very contagious and they are both snotty and coughing so we're going to have a low key, restful weekend here at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Life in Olympia is going well. I am so far enjoying my job and the people. The daycare thing is really hard to adjust to though. Isaac has not been separating well at all - every day my heart just aches when I have to say goodbye as the teacher has to hold him tightly while I leave. On the other hand, Sydney has been fine and vocabulary is already improving. So...there are good and bad things. I am hoping that as Isaac starts to feel better, the separations will get easier. Only time will tell!
I'm ready to ride this wave into December! We have lots going on and that always makes time go by quickly - which is exactly what WE want to have happen right now!
