Flying Solo

Well, Mackenzie and I are doing it by ourselves now. Until Tuesday when Jodie and David come. We seem to be managing ok. We've only cried 2 of the 3 nights we've been on our own and last night was only for about 20 minutes. I've learned a thing or two about keeping her calm.... hanging out by the running dryer and swaying her back and forth seems to help get her to sleep.

We manage to take an outing almost every day. Yesterday we went to the Post Office to mail Daddy a care package. We just got to the front of the line and he called, so we drove around for an hour and then went to a different Post Office to mail the package. (They have these annoying signs at the Post Office that say "No Cell Phones" so I hopped out of line.)

Otherwise, we manage to stay pretty busy inside the house. Whether we are watching daddy on t.v., having tummy time, eating, cleaning up the dog hair, trying to take a shower, giving baby a bath, taking a nap, or checking email, we don't have a lot of time for other stuff right now. It's absolutely amazing - I never knew time could go so fast doing such repetitive stuff.

Today we are heading to Ft. Bragg for a spouse's coffee at Sports USA. We are supposed to wear our team colors, mine don't fit, so Mackenzie will be the only Husker Fan sportin' colors today (thanks to Aunt Marlene).

Which means I have one more minute to finish my lunch and then I need to get everyone ready to head out the door. (Yes, this can take an hour!)
