New New Friends and a PARTY

Zion's new friend Lila Newton daughter of Kara and Luke. She is almost exactly the same size that Zion was. We cant believe Zion was ever that little.
Leila Hagewood daughter of Keme and Andrew. Zion is envious of her hair.
Watching Dad fix his hair. Quite a production.
Zions first party invite. Kaleb was told he could invite a few friends for his birthday and wanted to invite Zion. Zion was very pleased and even picked out a present for him all by herself.
With the boys at the party!

So far we have made it through more than half of the week and we are all still alive. Zion only slept four hours last night so that made for a long work day for me. I am very thankful though as aour friend Elsie agreed to watch her and Elsie lives only 5 minutes from my work which enables me to go feed Zion for my lunch break! Zion seems very relaxed at Elsie's house and I am more relaxed knowing that she is with Elsie and she is getting plenty of attention. The commute is a long one but I am trying out new short cuts and so far Zion has been taking naps while we drive. I am adjusting back to the routine of work remembering all the clinical terms. Its like a different language really especially when you have gotten used to talk to a baby all day. I am the only person that does not speak Creole so I am hoping that I am going to pick it up very quickly because all day long I have no idea what everyone is saying. It's probably the best way to learn. I have to get Travis to learn too so he can practice with me.

Keep looking for the blessings of God. It will help you get through this with victory. Even tho it is hard, this is God's provision at this time. Don't second guess your decisions, just trust. I know how hard Monday was for you and Travis. This just means that evenings will need to be enjoyable for all of you and to cherish that time. You'll find that you will have to decide what's really important - and dusting is NOT! At least you have a husband who is also a wonderful cook!
We wish we were independently wealthy so we could come and be Zion's babysitters.
