Getting into the groove

Things have been going pretty smooth lately. I have gotten myself and the kids into a pretty good routine. Easton has put himself on his own schedule that I wish would change a little. He now goes to bed every night at 6p.m. usually no later, and then right at 4a.m. he is up for a bottle, then back down until 5a.m. and then up for good. This is good for the days that Harley works because he gets up at 5 anyways and just puts Easton in his jumparoo while he is getting ready and then wakes me up a little before 6. He is finally on a 2 naps per day schedule now also. They are only about an hour each which must be enough for him and also gives me some time to myself. I just wish he would change it by about 2 hours and everything would be awesome. Lee wakes up around 7 and gets ready for school so if Easton changed his routine they would both get up at the same time and that would mean more sleep for all of us. I have always loved having a clean house but by being home full time I get to keep it even more clean!! Harley always comes home from a long day of work to dinner and a clean house. Nothing for him to do at all except eat and relax. I have been meeting people slowly but surely. Today I walked across the street to introduce myself to another neighbor, I am getting pretty brave. She also has two kids, a newborn and a three year old. Last night we had some friends from downt the street over for dinner and it was a good time. It is nice to actually be able to cook for other people than ourselves once in a while. One thing that made me really happy yesterday was to be able to walk next door to another neighbor to borrow a pot, oh the little things that make me smile. I haven't been able to do that for a while. They have been here for 3 1/2 years and have extended to be here for even longer. Her husband is a Navy Seal and loves it here. Again I just want to thank everyone who calls, sends emails, and chats with on facebook, and to talk to a friend on the phone for over an hour was a great way to start one day. It really brightens up my day, even if it is to talk about fashion, Tinisha!! LOL! Speaking of things that make me happy, I love watching Lee lately. Since he has been going to school he often acts like he is at school and says a lot of things the teachers say. It is really cute to watch. I love the sound of Easton's laugh and the way his eyes light up when I go to get him out of his bed when he wakes up from his nap. One other thing that makes me completley happy are candles, I love when I have candles burning and the house smells so good especially on a rainy day. I am blessed in so many ways and in many ways it is the people who love and care about us that is one of the biggest blessings. I wouldn't change a thing right now, everything happens for a reason and I think I will be able to deal with the hand we have been given.
