Hello everyone,

Here's a quick update. Things are going great with us. Jessica is now sleeping 5 to 6 hours stretches so I am getting more sleep. Right now I'm working on getting her to bed earlier. She doesn't seem to be able to fall asleep and stay asleep before 11:30. My goal is to get her asleep and staying asleep by 7:30. Unfortunately I don't think these things can be forced. She loves the swing and usually takes a nap in it in the afternoon.

Michael and Sarah start Pre-school in 2 weeks. We just went shopping and got them school clothes and back packs. Which they loves. Michael keeps refolding them and reorganizing his draws. He has become obsessed. I found really awesome sales this past Saturday at Kohl's. I'm talking cute scooters (shirts with built in shorts) for $2, $3, and $5! Plus there is no sales tax this week.

Sunday Sarah fell after her bath and busted her chin wide open. We rushed her to the Pediatric Emergency Room and she got 6 stitches. Luckily she was so tired and cold that when they wrapped her up and Velcroed her into the gurney she fell right asleep. Who knew swaddling would work on a 3-year-old. She slept through the whole thing. I was so thankful. She is doing fine now and the stitches will be removed in about a week.

Well, I'm taking Jessica for her first baby pictures today. Take care and God bless.

Love,
Dawn
