Well, my little Josie Mae is one week old already! I can hardly believe a week has went by so fast. She is doing wonderful. The precious little girl only really cries when she needs something. She has been doing wonderful at night too! Last night she ate at 8:45pm then fell asleep till 1:30am. We fed her and she went right back to sleep and didn't make a peep till 7:30am. How wonderful is that!! She had her first bath last night because her umbilical cord fell off yesterday. She HATED it!!! She doesn't like to get her diaper changed so I imagined that she wouldn't like the bath. But she Hated her bath!! She was screaming so hard she was turning purple!! But she survived and when I wrapped her in the warm towel, everything was all better! :)
Libby and Caden continue to adjust pretty well. I can tell that Caden is a little different, but nothing horrible. He is just having a harder time obeying and they both are having a harder time going to bed at night. Last night they both were still awake at 11pm. 3 long hours after I put them to bed. I think part of the problem has been that Dustin was gone Monday and Tuesday. He had to go on duty by himself and spent the night over at Hickory House. That is not normal for the kids and I think was harder on them than I thought it would be. For the past 8 months our little family has hardly been seperated for more than a couple hours, so for Daddy to be gone ALL day and ALL night was really a change. Thankfully those 2 days have passed and we can get back into a routine again.
My mom was here the week before the baby was born and Dustin's dad and mom came last week. His mom left yesterday. It was so nice to have them both here and the kids really enjoyed the attention from both sets of grandma's and grandpa. I think that attention was good for them. We go back on duty together on Saturday night. I don't know if I'm ready for that, but we will just take it one day at a time. I'm sure everything will go fine and we will just get back into that routine. Well, I think that's all the news I have for right now. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
OK....so I have no clue how to turn this picture. Any advice would be great!

I am so amazed at your resiliance to go back to work so soon! I would be fighting it, that's for sure! Just wanted you to know that I got a little sad today because I thought of spring and summer and walking...and I am going to be alone a lot I think this year because of the restaurant. Which is fine, I'm not complaining about that...but I will definitely miss you when I want to go on a walk! Love you so much!
