Adventure of the week

It all started with a trip to Salt Lake, dinner at a very poor China Gourmet and then to the airport to check in. I should have checked the flights to see the status of the one I was flying on but didn't so left Dad at the security gates to get to my gate and found out that my flight was going to be 45 minutes late so I sat (of course had a book) and waited. Finally got into Portland about 9:30 and called Mike to let him know and Kate came and got me.

Saturday it was fun to watch them pack, shop, make lists, unpack, repack and such. Poor little Korben was sick which didn't make it any easier for Kate to leave. Jake took them to the airport and then spent the day with me and Jessica came over and spent most of the afternoon after her Relief Society thing.

I put Korben to bed about 8:00 and he woke up at 3:30 feeling good and wanting juice. He went right back to sleep but Logan woke up at 4:30 but it only took giving him a bottle and he went back to sleep and they both slept until 9:00. Sunday we didn't go to church because it was stake conference and I didn't want to have two hours with no nursery. Bad me--I use the excuse that Korben hadn't eaten anything on Saturday that stayed down so I wanted to see how food settled with him. Sounds logical doesn't it?

They are both really good little boys and play really well during the day. Korben is really good about entertaining himself and Logan is just a happy baby. They sleep well at night which gives me my evenings. Last night I had them both in bed by 8:00 and they both slept until 10:00. Logan woke up at 6 but by the time I got his bottle heated a little and back up to him he was asleep again.

According to Kate's scales I have lost 2 more pounds and I think they are right because when I first got here I weighed just what the scales at home say and now I am consistently two pounds less. It has to be all the running up and down stairs. How is it that you think you have planned and think you have everything you need on the right floor but still make a hundred trips up and down in a day?

I remember now how important adult conversation is when you are the mother of little children. I have called Dad every night and he gets through listening before I get through talking if you know what I mean. Today Kellie , Josh and Cami called as well as me talking to Dad for a few minutes two different times so I have used up lots of my 20,000 words for the day. It gave me the energy to get some things done just by feeling like an adult again. I love these two little boys but it sure is a change from my usual days.
