Sleep

Please excuse the quality of this picture.  I took it with my cell phone.  Grace has been having a lot of trouble dealing with life in IL.  Our schedule is different and it has been cold and rainy a lot of our stay forcing us inside most of the time or in the car traveling from one house to another.  Nevermind the amount of people that want to touch them and hug them and talk to them.  My kids aren't real thrilled with all of that with people they love and adore and see all the time so this is throwing them off.  My aunt has been visiting from Florida and she has definitely seen the worst of these kids.  I really hope she sees this picture and how peaceful Grace can be.  Grace threw a huge fit this morning while we had company here and I sure wish they could have been around when we played outside to see how much fun the kids had and the smiles on their faces.  I think Grace is really missing daddy and I'm sure Andrew is as well but he can just tell me that and we talk about it but Grace just screams, cries, hits and is just really mad.  Bedtime has been the worst.  I can't wait to go home and let daddy take over bedtime for a while.  This is definitely longer than I think Grace can handle being out of her environment and I feel terrible about keeping her away so long.  We have taken naps 2 days in a row so I'm hoping we can get some sort of schedule started so the next week will go more smoothly.  We are going to St. Louis next Friday and Saturday to the train museum and possibly the zoo.  After that we only have a couple days and we will be heading home. 

Hopefully this week I can upload some more pictures.  Grannylou found the cord to her camera so I can start downloading some of the pictures she has taken.  Right now Grannylou is fixing a snack for the kids and I heard Andrew say this is delicious!  Guess I better go see what I am missing out on......
