I was up with Hyrum every 2 hours last night. Don't know if it's a growth spurt or just an off night. He has been a little stuffy so I gave him his first taste of Elderberry today and he took it really well.

Nathan was awake at 6:50.

Levi didn't have to be to school until 10:15. Before we were even in town Nathan was asleep so I just headed to Idaho Falls for lunch with mom.

We ate lunch at the Olive Garden. It was just the break I needed. However, going on such little sleep and walking around Sam's Club with mom made the trip home really hard with 2 sleeping boys and me fighting sleep.

After we got home I quickly made dinner and then tried taking a nap when all the kids got home from school but Hyrum decided it was time to play. I should go for a walk instead but my body is a little shaky and I feel like I'm falling asleep as I walk around. I decided to lay on the bed and just talk with Hyrum instead. His smiles and cooing make it really hard to be frustrated with him.

We have had a huge rain storm that knocked out some of the power. I love it! I love the sound of pounding rain and the grey sky that is pushed out by the sun. I love the smell after rain. I only wish I had grass to run through during the storm. I feel like being sporatic that way.

It's probably a side effect of very little sleep.

You sound like you are sleep walking. Wish there was some way I could make it easier. I was talking with James about graduation and he said that you should come here. I thought it was just so I wouldn't be going, but what he said was that me going to your house doesn't get you away from all the family responsibilities and you need a break too. He does have a good handle on the situation. But I want to see your house and it is way past my turn to make the trip.

Max had a hard day today. He was just a bit fussy and wanted to be held and would only sleep while he was held. It is 11:58 and I just now got him to sleep and instead of jumping right into bed I am typing away.

He is also stuffed up. Can you tell me about the Elderberry you gave Hyrum? I didn't realize they could have it so young. James and I both upped our dosage as we are both feeling stuffy as well. I thought Max might get some from my milk but if I can give it to him direct thats even better.

We also had a rain storm with some loud thunder. We were outside at one point and I thought it would frighten Max but he slept right through it. I love the storms.

OK, This comment turned into a full blown conversation. Sorry, just lots of thoughts.
