Oh Where Are You Camera??

So yes I have lost my camera.  I have been putting off posting until I could locate it, but it's been to long. One month without taking pictures of a growing child is a long time!  So sorry but the update may be boring with no pictures to look at.

For an update, Leah is doing great. She is crawling everywhere and she loves to explore.  She is very hard to contain these days.  She also loves to play with cords and strings, it's hard to keep them all out of her sight.  Currently I am trying to sleep train her.  I am afraid I have spoiled my little girl. I love to rock her and just spend time with her at night, my excuse was because I missed her from working all day.  However she needs to learn to self soothe.  So I am currently listening to my poor little girl cry in her crib until she falls asleep.  Last night it took almost 40 minutes and I believe tonight will be the same.  Everytime Kevin hears me move he says "don't go in she's fine".  HAH she may be, but I'm not.

On a sad note my family has been going through so much.  I found out my dad has prostate cancer and will need surgery.  Also my sister has a rare type of lymphoma cancer. She has recently started her chemotherapy.  My mom and younger sister have been at her house everyday helping her.  She is so strong and is taking this all so well.  She is definitely a fighter. My dad's treatment doesn't start for another month, but I know he will also do great. I have to say I was terrified at the thought that my family might be short two members.  I am so glad to know that they both have a great odds of beating this.  I love them both so much. 

Oh so Kevin started school....Yay!  He has been so diligent at getting all of his work done.  I am so glad that he has finally started and figured out what he wants to do.  (something with computers) I am still working and wishing I was home.  I got a new calling in church, teaching the Sunbeams in Primary.  They are so fun and so far its a great calling.  But I miss being with Leah even during those two hours, man am I a sensitive mom or what?  Everyone else loves to see there child get of age to go to nursery at church. but all I can think about is that is more time I have to be away from her.  Oh I also am determined to get all this "mommy tummy" off.  I hate it!  I also hate being to lazy to work out.  But one way or another I will get rid of it.
