we've been getting lots of snow and playing in it. jeremy started orientation for his new part-time job on saturday. he has four full days in a row of training this week, then several more over next weekend and the following week. quite a lot of training. unfortunately, it has been snowing every day, so he has also been doing his snow plow job for the last four nights in a row. it's great because he is making money, but it's really hard because he hardly gets any sleep! he goes out to plow in the middle of the night (starts at 4 am on weekends and 2 am on weekdays), stops by the house in the morning for ten minutes to change clothes and brush his teeth, and heads to a full day of training for his other job.
it was a bummer last night with the superbowl. he has looked forward to the superbowl for months and was all settled in to watch when they unexpectedly called during half-time to say that they were going out to plow. it hadn't been snowing much so we thought he would get a night off. so...instead of watching the rest of the game, he headed straight to bed. i felt really bad for him.
i have been having crazy, long days with the kiddos. i took them to church by myself yesterday, which was quite an adventure. we don't have the easiest children in the world, and taking them out by myself is quite an undertaking (if only for the simple fact that jobot weighs approximately 24 pounds now and i just can't carry him around for very long!). we were running a few minutes late for church, but everyone was finally ready and we headed out the door. i left love on the front porch and went to put jobot in his car seat. his door of the van was frozen. problem. i tried love's door. frozen too. only the front doors of the van would open. i briefly considered just staying home, but there we were...i had gone to all the work of getting us ready for church and i was not going to give up that easily...so we climbed in through the front seat. it was quite a sight, i am sure. we slipped and slid to church (the roads were more slippery than i expected!), but we arrived, made it inside, and i was glad we went.
it's been challenging with jobot lately. he hardly naps. yesterday he woke up at 5:15 am and napped for 15 minutes out of the entire day. seriously. he goes to bed around 6 or 6:30 and {finally} sleeps all night, so that is good, but i wish he would take better naps! love was the same way at his age, so apparently we just create kids who aren't nappers. she didn't start taking reliable naps until she was one, so i guess we can hope that he at least follows her with that as well.
here are a few recent pics:
snow fun!
bubble baths!
eight months old!
he is crawling all over and recently started trying to pull himself up on the furniture (there is a lot of grunting involved with that!). he says ma, da, ah duh (all done), and we think he has said dog. quite the boy!
