I have to admit the first few weeks of Miles’ life had me a wee-bit terrified but things are so much better! Miles is a little over 6 weeks old now and we almost see a change in him daily. This morning I went to get him out of his crib and he smiled at his first sight of me. I’m still thrilled He smiles several times each day (especially during his diaper change in the morning). We finally have his routine down (eat, awake/ play time, nap time) so he is SO much more predictable. I think our only complaint still is the LOUD crying at night when Eric tries to put him to bed…but, even that seems to be getting better. He is still eating every 2.5-4 hours a night but I think I’m getting used to the lack of sleep now. Tomorrow night Gramma Linda is going to watch Miles so Eric and I can have a date night. Then in June we are going on a cave tour with some friends to Longhorn Caverns. Nana (Gramma Deb) will watch him all day for us. I officially resigned my position with NALS Mgmt to be a full-time stay at home mom. Adjusting to life out of the “fast-lane” has been slow but each week it gets a little easier. I’m trying to stay focused on what’s really important…making yummy dinners for Eric and keeping my baby boy and puppy dogs happy

Eric has been working on designing a shed for our land. Mom and Ray gave us a generator so hopefully we’ll be able to install a small window unit to keep Miles comfortable in the summertime while Eric and I clear trees. Eric spent most of the day yesterday burning tree limbs. He was happy to get something accomplished and finally reduce the size of his burn pile.
