Cory's on call this weekend, so he has to drive up to Sioux Falls both days for rounds. It's a beautiful day today - sunny and in the 70s. Pretty windy, though. We have new neighbors moving in. I think they have two children elementary school age. I talked with the mom briefly yesterday when we were all outside. She seems nice enough.

Last night was a relatively good night of sleep. Cole has been so incredibly restless, though, in the early mornings. Friday morning he started in around 3:30 a.m., and I think I managed to get an hour of solid sleep before I was up for the day thanks to a whining dog. Cole's such a great sleeper otherwise that I know he's just trying to take in all of these changes and wants to be out in the world as much as he can rather than sleep. But I know I'm rather sleep deprived because I'm getting very possessive of my sleep and of any possible alone time I can get. Last night definitely helped, though.

Cory and Accalia were planting seeds for our garden today. It's probably a little late to be just starting them inside, but we'll find out what happens. Accalia picked out some flower seeds (can't remember what they are right now) to plant near the back of the house. In the garden, we're planting radishes, peas, spinach, peppers and watermelon. Let's hope something grows! Accalia now has her own sized spade and trowel and is very excited to help out. At least I'll have company in the backyard while I'm weeding. It'll be a challenge to keep Cole from eating the dirt - got his first sample today. Yummy.
