Thanks to the help and advise given by family and friends, our little family is starting to fall into a pretty good routine. It was so good of everyone to bring meals and share stories to help me while adjusting to this big change. We still have our good days and bad days, but thanks to good friends out here in Florida we are finally up and running.
Paul has been studying like crazy and is happy to announce some pretty good grades so far. He is having fun with his football team and has only lost 2 games. When they lose it is only by a few points, but when they win....it's by a landslide. Bryant loves to run around the field while they play. We got him his own football and some cleats so he doesn't slip on the grass. He feels like he's part of the team and looks like it too, only he's about 4 feet shorter than the other players.
Briley is getting so big and so close to finally cracking the real smiles. Until then I'll still pretend that the gas smiles are really her smiling at me. The two of us are still only waking up one or two times in the night and very grateful for it.
As for me, I am trying to get some sleep, some exercise and have a little fun. Every once in a while I get to do all 3 in one day. We love everyone and miss you all terribly.
