Week #8 with Eowyn

Dear Friends and Family,
I am sooooo sorry that I haven't written in a long time. At least not as often as you are probably used to. Eowyn is doing very good.
Since I last wrote in this I started working at the salon again last week and Eowyn started going to the babysitters. We have two babysitters and then Josh for Saturdays. He is wonderful with her and I am so glad that he gets her for a whole day on the weekend because he needs that time with her. I have been feeling really bad about the fact that he is working so much that he doesn't get to see her barely at all. She basically goes to bed soon after I get home from work or he gets home from work. So he may get to hold her and cuddle and play for maybe an hour or so or just hold her while she is sleeping. She is so animated it isn't funny. She holds her head up really well and coos and can stretch her legs really well while you hold her in a standing position. I love playing up and down with her where she stands up and then down while I say the words up and down. She has started really smiling alot. She loves to go for walks with us and looks all around her.
Okay back to what is going on with us. I am working Tues. Thur. and Sat. for the entire shift. It is sometimes hard because she likes to keep me up at night but I just drink alot of coffee and get to work. Eowyn has been really good for the babysitters who are... Johanna and Wayne (my sister inlaw and her husband) on Tues. and Jeff and Lori ( family friends from church) on Thur. and then Josh on Sat. She has been really good with them and loves to be around all of them so it is really good that she knows them all. The fact that we know the sitters so well makes me not worry about her at all while I am at work. I call only once a day if that just to make sure that she is being good for them and then I have my cel phone on my hip all day.
On my days in between work I am really enjoying being with my little Eowyn and cleaning and reading. I have been watching alot of our movies as well. I wrote down all the movies that we have down in our cupboard and am watching each one in a row. I check it off if I have watched it and go to the next. It is interesting because some of the movies in there I have never seen such as Jaws. I have never wanted to watch that but oh well I will anyway. With the sounds of the movies in the background Eowyn has learned to sleep through any sound. Such as Josh Creager laughing really loud in the dining room during game night. He is really loud and she just sleeps right through it all.
I am really happy to be back at work mostly because I am getting to do hair again and getting tips again. I have money... hehe
Having a day off in the middle of each work day gives me some time to get rested up but it doesn't always happen that way. I am really trying hard to keep my house nice and stuff like that but it is sometimes hard. I got this new product called easy off BAM and I am going to try it on my shower because there is alot of soap scum and I haven't been able to get it all cleaned and someone told me that it works really well.
I don't really have much more to talk about other then the fact that Josh and I had been praying about supporting a friend of ours at our church who is a missionary to china and just this week we let him know that we would.
Well he let us know that because of the donation that we are giving him once a month he is at a check point where one of his friends told him that he would double any money he got for the month. He made it because we donated our part. Isn't God Awesome?!?!?!
Well I have to go but I will try to write more soon.
bye for now...
