New baby and some reorganization

Lydia Allison Jacobs was born last Tuesday in Starkville.  8 pounds, 4.8 ounces, 18.5 inches with auburn-red hair.  Maggie absolutely adores her, Abbie is still trying to figure her out.  Terrific two's are NOT a good time to add a baby - just a word of advice...Anyway, Lydia is doing well, almost back up to birth weight but keeps a constant case of the hiccoughs. 

Maggie has decided to camp out or move in (I'm not sure which) with Mamaw and Papaw.  She has been there since May 27th.  I am hoping that she comes home sometime this weekend.  She has a day camp next week at her school and two weeks of swimming lessons after that. 

Abbie is going to daycare each day.  I am looking forward to changing daycares in August.  We will be going to the Episcopal church here in town and Abbie will be in a structured preschool for the better part of the day.  Maybe the regimen/routine will help calm her down!

As for me, no staples this time, just dissolving stitches.  I am doing as well as could be expected.  The inability to drive is mind-numbing, but I only have a few more days.  There is a lady staying with me and Lydia at the house 3 days a week.  She cooks and cleans and lets me sleep (the biggest plus!).  Summer school starts up in July four days a week in the mornings, so that will keep me occupied until school starts back. 

We have a trip to Vanderbilt for our yearly checkups on July 4th weekend.  Not sure how traveling with all the kids will work, but we don't really have a choice.  Two weeks of vacation bible school after that, a week off, and then school starts for all 3 girls. 

Where has the summer gone?
