Well we survived Levi being gone for almost 3 whole days! I took Claire and Roxcy and we went and stayed at my parents house from Tues-Thurs and we had a blast. My parents just loved all over Claire the whole time. We went into one of my Mom's places of employment so she could show Claire off, then I took Claire into my mother-in-law's work. She was so good! She was just smiling and talking up a storm, everyone loved her. My wonderful MIL took us out to lunch at Phil's Subs (quick side note: if you're ever in Forest Grove, go there it's delicious!), we had Turkey Avocado sandwiches and they were to die for. Claire sacked out in my arms while we were there. It's fun being in FG, I always see a billion people I know (but it's at the same time it's kind of nice going to the store down here in Salem where I most likely won't see someone I know so I don't feel like I have to get all dressed up lol). Before going into Freddy's, I was going to stop in Hollywood Video (my very first job) to say "Hi" but the door was locked and the lights were out. It turns out that HWV filed bankruptcy and FM (wow I'm really tired and having too much fun with acronyms, hopefully you're all keeping up) pulled their lease, sad day. I wonder what happened to a certain guy that had been working there for almost 10 years now, maybe he went to Blockbuster. We celebrated my brother Colin's b-day (the big 2-8, that's so crazy!) a couple days early, I always love spending time with them. The kids were so loud though that Claire didn't want to go to sleep but she was so tired and cranky. We then spent a couple hours with Jay and the kids on Thurs and that was also really fun. Those kids just crack me up. Zenna (who will be 2 in May) took off her skirt and we put it on Claire, it was a perfect fit. Yes, our niece wears 6-9 month skirts, she is so skinny. But she eats like a teenage boy and runs around like a crazy woman. The doctor actually told my brother and sis-in-law to add butter to her food to fatten her up. That definitely won't be a problem with my baby. :)
It was so good to finally see Levi Thurs night. I miss him too much when he's gone and this was his first time being away since Claire's arrival so it was extra hard. His meetings & trainings went well. He's always so exhausted from all that driving though!
Today has been a rough day. Claire has been horribly fussy today which really isn't like her so we think she must be teething. She was screaming for at least an hour before I could get her to sleep, eek! My Mom said that both my brothers and myself got a tooth at 4 months and we're just a week or 2 shy of that. I feel so bad for her I wish there was more that I could do. She's not interested in teething toys, she either just wants to eat or chomp on my fingers, OUCH! And we finally got the hospital bill, DOUBLE OUCH!!
I think this is the first time I'm not going to post a picture, I just really need to get to bed. Hoping for a better day tomorrow!
