Life lately has been a blast. Lynlee is now about four and a half months old, and is getting more and more fun every day. A couple weeks ago she started doing what we call "the O face". It is pretty much just her holding her jaw down while making an O with her lips. She has become so aware of herself and her surroundings. She is getting close to being able to sit up, and is making the funniest little cooing and squealing noises with her mouth. Cambria has been having a lot of fun with her as well. This last week Lynlee started into daycare on Wednesdays and Fridays. This has been fun for Cambria to be able to feed her on her lunch break. It's also been quite nice for me so I can have more time to get us moved out. We have been in the process of packing our stuff in preparation to move to my parents basement. We will be able to save a lot of money while living there and renting out our condo here in Ogden, and hope to use it for med school applications and travel expenses.
I was taking a physics class this summer semester but it ended up not working out. I tried hard, and the teacher and his style were just not working out for me. I dropped the class and will take it in the fall. It has worked out for the best, as I am able to stay at home with Lynlee all day, and get a lot done in preparation for our move. We will be officially moving this Saturday the 30th. I have also had to prepare my parents basement for us. Lynlee will take over the toy room as her room, so in order for there to be a place for toys, I am finishing under my parents basement stairs for a little playroom there. It has been a long and hard process. I have done drywall and finishing work at the police station we remodeled when I worked in construction with Kyle, but this was a whole new story. With all the corners and angles it was a learning experience that took me a great deal of time to accomplish. I have really enjoyed it though but will be glad ti be done. I have one more coat of paint, then I am finished, and they can get someone to carpet it. I had to frame it so as to fit sheetrock in better, sheetrock, tape the joints and fill them with joint compound, texture the ceiling, place baseboards, and paint. It has taken me more than 60 hours to finish.
Cambria is changing her hours at work slightly. She will be going in at 7:00am and leaving at 3:30. She will be able to spend a bit more time with Lynlee in the evening this way. She is happy to be able to do so since right now she is only able to get a few hours with her before Lynlee goes to sleep. I will be happy to have her home earlier too. I have Lynlee in the daytime, and although I enjoy it, I enjoy the break I get when Cambria comes home to help out.
Life is fun, and we feel very blessed. We have had a very good year so far, and a great time with our little girl. Our love for her grows each day, and we look forward to all the new things she will be learning to do as time passes.
