The Options

So we're trying to figure out what exactly our options are right now and trying to determine which is the best path to take. But all we're discovering is that it's practically impossible to make a 'good' decision. We simply have to make what we feel is the best decision and try to be happy with it. No situation can be perfect, nor, I suppose, can it be all bad. Which leads to the idea of returning to Quesnel. We miss our families and when it comes down to it struggling would be that much easier with some family support. But still, nothing (obviously) is set in stone. Daddy has to find a job, that is the most important thing, and we can't be all that picky about where right now.
That being said, I suppose I'm already assuming that we will move. And at the same time I can't fathom the idea. I've been living in this strange world of denial (I guess) lately. But then I sit down and notice something I really like about this house and think of what it will be like to leave it behind. Never mind trying to sell it on this crappy market.

Anyway, otherwise we had a good day! We did family photos today and the kids were awesome. I was totally prepared to be a little disappointed (I mean, come on, the chances of getting a 2 year old and a 3 month old to smile at the same time??) But they did really well! LH wasn't shy at all (though I have to credit the photographer! She was great!) and we actually got LF to smile from a distance so that we weren't in the picture! We got the cutest one of just him, on his tummy even, which usually he doesn't like, or at least won't do for long. But he held out like a trooper! I'm really happy with the clothing choices too, as I got everyone done up in jeans and white shirts and it looked really good.

Then I tried to get LF through the evening without his little power nap. He's been waking up religiously around 4 or 5 in the morning lately and I'd like to get rid of that! Especially because it's not just a return of the suckie anymore. He's been up for the better part of an hour for a while now. And seeing as the routine I was trying to follow from "The Sleep Solution" didn't recommend that power nap I figured I'd better try to get him through the evening. Poor guy passed out on his daddy at about 6:00 though!! I only gave him about 10-15 minutes this time though, when he usually gets closer to 1/2 an hour. So... we'll see how the night goes!!
