Day 6

Addy did a little better last night. She only got up once..but Mason woke up bawling at 5, he's getting his bottom canines and molars in right now. I thought Addy would be in a little better mood today, but no. We went to our friend Holly's house so the kids could play and she was still moody over there. I know it's a mixture of all the changes going on, missing her Daddy and not getting good sleep, but I'll be so grateful when she finally adjusts to it all. We've almost hit our first week mark! Chris is loving the Site so far. The entire Site is the same size as Rhode Island..it's enormous! The people he's met so far have been awesome and the job opportunity is still looking great. They met a guy at church ball on Monday that is single and owns a house. He's been trying to rent out 2 spare rooms at his place, and Chris and Brandon were going to be looking for a different hotel to stay at since this place hasn't been good. So they went and looked at it last night and agreed that it would be a great fit. The way things have fallen into place have been such a blessing. They save money this way, get their own rooms, it's in a gated community so they have pools, tennis courts etc. They also met a couple people at work that car-pool to the site each day and they've also started riding with them instead of taking the hour long bus ride..maybe longer. So we've been super happy and excited with how things are working out for him down there. The best news is that Chris's parents are taking the kids and I down there with them next weekend. It's Memorial Day weekend and we all miss him and want to go have fun in Vegas! I can't wait!

A couple things that Mason has started doing the past week:
*walking only holding onto one of our hands. His balance is getting so much better and he's definitely getting closer.
*he has a new wave. He's usually been just holding his arm up like he's saluting you..but a couple days ago he started turning his wrist and opening and closing his hand and he'll say buh-bye while he does it. SOOO CUTE!
*when Addy comes in the room, he says her name (Ahheee)....she LOVES it!
