• Good morning   Well the kiddoes had fun looking at the Christmas lights.  I have to admit my favorite house was not overly lighted.  But they did have 4 different parts of the Christmas story layed out.  Including a hill with shepherd sitting at it & a angel flying in the sky.  They had several painted/lighted murals representing backgrounds for the varying scenes.  It was  very cool, and actually had to do with the "real" meaning of Christmas

  
  

  This was the first year Kaylin was old enough to really see the lights, and she was VERY impressed, and kept jabbering away about what she was seeing.  It was so cute.

  
  

  Jamari on the other hand, well ummmm he got a bit tired of the whole thing, and was much more content sucking his bottle, then actually looking at the durn things.

  
  

  I've already folded two loads of laundry this morning.  And have at least 4 more to go (as the washing machine/dryer get done with them lol)  Jamari actually let me stand up to fold both of them. (whats the world coming to)  Sooooooooo here's hoping I can get the rest done too.  I do NOT want to be folding Christmas eve day.  And I cant do laundry tomorrow.  Soooooo  I have little choice here.  If he gets too ornrey I will have to sos to my moms house and have a little sister come babysit.  They LOVE to play with their youngest brother

  
  

  Zeria fed Jamari his morning bottle this morning, while I nursed Kaylin.  She thought that was way too cool   And had a BIG grin on her face the whole time.  Last Saturday & Sunday I tried to balance both of the babies who think they both need to be fed at the exact same time.  It was just too hard.   And as its the only nurse Kaylin still wants, I don't want to preempt her for the baby.  She has done remarkably well accepting this new brown thing into her life.  So I'm not gonna mess with that one.

  
  

  She's so cute about Jamari.  She always see's me first when I go get to get babies up from naps etc.  As her room has no wall/door.  (some day lol)  So I go get her, and she talks a mile a minute (no idea what she's saying )  And points to Jamari's room wondering if we're gonna go get him. 

  
  

  We hid the walker, as Jamari was torturing Kaylin in it....and ever since then they've been great friends.   Today they were playing a game of peek a boo or something.  Kaylin had a hat she was making as if she was gonna put on Jamari's head.  and every time he caught her getting close she'd run around to the other side.  Sooooooo cute.

  
  

  Yesterday afternoon.  After a nice long break from the kids. (Rob kicked me out)  I tried again in the true bonding process with Jamari.  I haven't "clicked" with him as quick as I did my two oldest adopted babies.   The first time I picked him up he screamed at me, and I started bawling.  So Rob took him and said its okay breathe.  I did.  And prayed hard.  After awhile I tried again.  And after a half hour of cuddling with him skin to skin.  Things felt right.  And I feel like I've finally truely connected with him.  Thank you Lord.

  
  

  Father God, I thank you so much for two loads of laundry getting folded without a baby screaming.  I ask for the rest of the day to go as well.  I thank you for the fun evening last night.  I ask that you will give Rob the wisdom to say the right edifying words to his coworkers today.  And for me to be even-tempered with the kids & Rob.  In your sons name, Amen
