Lots of Changes

We've had a lot of change in our family in the past weeks. Jim started a new job. We're excited about the company and the opportunity but change brings stress and a sense of the unknown. Both of us are really looking forward to establishing a new sense of normal. Lydia decided to turn in her pacifier for a Build a Bear teddy bear. It's been a wild transition. It's been a super smooth adjustment during her waking hours. She doesn't seem to mind being without it in the van nor does she seem to miss it as a mid-morning comfort! Bedtime and naptime have not been as easy. Some nights have verged on torture. Others have been unremarkable. To add to the fun, Claire has turned into a rolling fool! She quickly twists and rolls across the room to grab the newest and most exciting toy. The crazy thing is that she seems to make most of her progress when I step into another room or turn my back. Hmm...maybe Lydia's sliding her across the floor when I'm not looking!!! Me? Let's think...I got a haircut. That's pretty exciting in my world!!!

I have some really precious pictures from the pool and Build-A-Bear that I'll post as soon as I can find my camera.....
