We are home!

We finally got home on Sunday night. My Grandpa and Grandma Atkinson drove us home and it was so nice to have them come up and see where we live. Jake was so excited to have them here. Grandpa of course immediately disappeared with Jake. They played in his room for a bit then went into the hut, under the kitchen table, that Ryan and Jake had made. Grandpa is definately a favorite he is so much fun to play with and I think Jake loved that Grandpa crawled into the "hut" with him.

Dawson is doing a little better since being home. He finally sleeps. For about 4 days he really didn't sleep. He just cried most of the time. Day and night. It was pretty rough. Finally, I had the feeling that we just needed to go home and he would be better. Sure enough, he sleeps about 3 hours at a time here and is doing well. Last night I was so tired I couldn't see straight. I really did not have more than 4 hours of sleep for the last week and they were never longer than about 1 hour at a time. Ryan, being the best husband ever, could sense that and took Dawson out into the living room and the baby monitor for Mal and slept out there so I could sleep through the night. WOW! What a difference! I feel so much better. I think tonight I will do the same for him. We really don't get enough sleep these days. Oh well, that's parenthood, I guess. Really they are worth it anyway :)

To leave on a fun note: Jake has been writing letters lately. He doesn't know how to spell all the words but he knows all of the sounds the letters make and writes some pretty funny letters. Just for fun I thought I would type them on here so you can all see how stinking cute he is! Enjoy!

This next one Ryan found taped on the outside of his hut (he was kind of mad)

6/1/29 (the date, we have no idea how he knew that was the right date)

I think you can figure this one out. It was really funny. Jakob wanted to hold Mallory and wouldn't move his arms away from her and Ryan told him to move them or he couldn't ever hold Mallory. I think this was the arguing that happened. He is such a funny little boy! We sure love him. It is really fun to watch him read and write. He is such a good boy! He also likes to remind us often that having two babies is crazy and he doesn't know how we can do it. He is funny.

We love you all!
Love, The Lindstroms
