Cory's parents left this morning. At first Accalia was in a bad mood knowing they were leaving, but she soon recovered and spent half the day building things with her various blocks and legos. Cole has just been completely out of sorts lately. I think he has about a million things going on right now. As I've mentioned before, there's the crawling thing and the nap thing. And there's a bit of separation anxiety, too. I can't tell yet, but he's either going through a growth spurt or he's wanting solids. If he's still so fussy in a few days, I think we're going to see if he's interested in food. I'm really glad we've made it to six months at least with exclusive breastfeeding. The way he was grabbing for things early on, I thought he'd want solids much sooner At any rate, the only place he seems to be perfectly content is in the sling.

So the house is in relatively good shape thanks to our visitors and life is pretty good despite the fact that I think we're officially dirt poor. I'm just going with that since it's not a good sign when you don't know if you'll have enough money to buy groceries - or at least as many as you really need. Despite the fact that we don't have much money and have a mountain of debt, I feel really blessed for all of the things that we do have. And how could you not when you have an amazingly supportive, funny, intelligent husband and two incredible children who remind you every day of what's important.

Cory's upstairs right now reading to Accalia. As he went up the stairs, he said, "One of us will be falling asleep!" Hopefully I don't see Accalia coming back down the stairs. Cole is falling asleep right now for most likely a late evening nap. Shoot. I hope I'm not up until midnight. Tomorrow we're going to visit my friend Sara and her two kids, including two-week-old Claire. Yay! A little, itty bitty baby to hold :)
