Update

We've been running around keeping busy as usual and in the midst of it all our sweet Jocelyn turned 6 months old last Saturday. How did that happen? I am so grateful that she has turned into the smiling, cuddly, happy baby that she is and that the non-stop screaming has passed. I'm even more grateful for the fact that she has slept through the night the past 4 nights!!
JT took a business/pleasure trip to California this past weekend. (He would tell you it was all work, cleaning his Dad's house so it can be sold. But I say any trip that doesn't include crying is a bit pleasure!!) My parents were wonderful enough to come up and help me out over the weekend and my dear Mother In-law slept over Thurs. to Friday and watched the kiddos while I worked. I couldn't have done it with out them. Boston developed a passion for my Dad during their stay. He has always loved my Dad and he's one of the only people he will readily go to, but they sincerely bonded this time. He kept saying "Horses.. ney" because my Dad has horses and takes him to ride. He got soooo upset when they left and kept reaching for the door saying "Grand". It was so sad but awfully precious.
As they say "distance makes the heart grow fonder" and we are so glad to have JT back home. I am such a wimp without him.

Carly, that was such a sweet post! Ken goes on a camp-out with the scouts once a month and I think this last time was the first time I didn't cry...but I still didn't sleep. You have such a sweet family. I'm so glad that Boston was able to bond with your Dad...that's huge! Scientifically speaking that would be called a "break through" but knowing your Dad, I know with out a doubt that they were speaking (and remembering) spirit to spirit and that bond is stronger than anything there is!

6 months already wow, time flies! I feel like I never see you anymore. i cannot wait for summer when we can just hang out on lawns and let the kids run around and play. So cute that Boston loves his Grandpa so much!

I love how cute Boston is with your Dad - it's so precious. It's been a long time, since I e-mailed or commented on your blog. You know, ya never know what to expect with pregnancies! Take care.
