Parking Lots and Such

You never know how picky you can be about parking lots and other odd things (like right now my husband is making bubble sounds and singing Sleep Tight Little One in a fishy voice - not a sleepy time voice). 

Anyway, if you know the person who designs parking lots, please ask them why they don't create your "Park here if you have a tiny baby in your car" spaces. And why aren't there parking lot police who can arrest those idiots who surge through the pedestrian walk way in front of the store - even though they saw you pushing a buggy with a baby + car seat all loaded up and it's raining outside. AND - why isn't there a nice man standing at the entrance of every Target and Walmart offering to valet park your car for free? And finally, why does it matter if I walk into the store on the OUT side of the IN side. Why can't I just enter the store on the blessed door that is closest to my parked car. One more thing, why doesn't every Wal-Mart and Target offer a nursing mothers room. All you have to do is offer a clean room with a door and a chair of some sort. In fact, shouldn't this be a norm at every mall too? 

And now for some cute pictures: Jrew "made" a cute little reindeer with his little hands and feet in daycare yesterday. Here are a few pics of it.

Here is a picture of another baby's reindeer (Top left) 

compared to Jrew's tiny one. :) He's one of the youngest babies in the class.

Here is Jrew's up close!

Here is the swet trea outside their classroom! :)

New Pictures

We recently had our friend Jonathan do some amazing pictures of Jrew. Here is a preview. However, these are copies and would not print well if you were going to try and do that. :) So, if you would like a "digital" copy of the pics, let me know and I can email you some.

Enjoy!

So many things...

Gosh. There are so many things on my mind right now that it's hard to think of what to post. Jrew is almost 4 months old officially. He is 16 weeks old and is growing so fast. He is such a cute little goose. (My grandmother tells me to stop calling her baby a "goose".) Jrew is also sleeping really well at night. He does, however, when he doesn't have a stuffy nose and congestion which he has had twice now in two weeks!!! His cold went away and then magically reappeared just for fun. :) He can't sleep on those nights and wakes up often. However, on a good night he goes to sleep around 8:00 or 8:30 and sleeps for a little while, wakes and eats around 9:30 and then sleeps the rest of the night. Since I have to be at work so early, he has to eat around 6:00 am. But, it's not a problem since I have to get him dressed and off to work by 7:00. Oh what fun it is to ride... I mean Oh what fun it is to try and get ready, eat breakfast, feed a baby, dress a baby, pack a baby in a carseat, search for baby's pacifier - blanket - burp cloth - socks, warm a car, scrape off ice, load baby in car, and drive 20 minutes to work every single morning. :) But, who can complain with such a darling baby boy to snuggle with!

One more thought as I close out. I have been very saddened to learn that a few dear friends of mine have lost their jobs and/or are in danger of losing their jobs soon. I know that God is faithful and has a very specific and purposeful plan for their lives, but that doesn't always make it a happy transition. One friend has already seen a turn-around in her situation and her company rehired her and even gave her a promoted position. I sure wish I could say the same for the other two dear friends. Please... pray for God's provision and for restored hope in the future!

Fare thee well and Good Night!
