Day 2

I'm really not planning to keep posting every day but a lot is still going on here and I know some of you want to stay in the loop.

We went to the Christmas service at church today, which is pretty new for us as we are usually out of town around Christmas time.  I haven't been to our church in a really long time, and with the boys sitting/standing beside me, it was an extra special day.  I am so thankful that we have such a wonderful church home.  Ronnie, I don't know if you are reading the blog, but the music today was spectacular!!

Coming home so close to Christmas is a wonderful thing, on the whole.  It's great that so many out-of-town family members are able to come visit and get to know Isaac and Eli, plus I have so much HELP.   It's a bit confusing for the boys, though.  Nana and Papo left for New Mexico today.  My brother Joel and his family arrived a few hours later.  My mom will be here for a couple of weeks.  We got to talk with Anya today (yay!) and she tells me that the boys think that they all live here in our house.  It's a difficult thing to explain that this is not normal, and that in a couple of weeks we will get into our regular routine, which will not be nearly as exciting.  It's been Christmas morning for the boys the past 48 hours and they are still not sleeping much.

Speaking of sleeping, I'm not doing much of that either.  Jet lag, radar up for Isaac and Eli knowing they aren't sleeping well, thinking about Sasha...my mind just races when I lie down.  A sleeping pill may be in order tonight.
