Ben's and Elaine's Grandma Barb left a couple days ago. She came out for a week to do all the work. Grandpa Tom had to stay home and work so it was her first solo since I have been in the picture. Grandma help out a tremendous amount and both the little ones and the bigger ones were very happy to have her presence in the house. We were all sad that she had to go back to work but such is life.

The colic seems a bit better or we are just getting used to it. Shawn was up with Laine from 2 to 6 last night. She had slept all day (Laine) and didn't really seem to want to sleep last night and remained fussy fussy fussy.

Ben is still doing great with the transition. He is cracking us up all the time with his silly antics which is nice to have every now and again. He always wants to be outside doing things, driving, sweeping, hosing, etc. When he is not doing that he is inside walking the house or wanting to have a book read to him. He is a great son. Got to run my shift is about to begin upstairs.
