Hey everyone, we are still here!
Jack just went back to work on Monday after his month of paternity leave. Of course, now Nikolai has decided not to sleep at night. He’s fine all day long and then gets the screaming night-time colic. Good times....
Sammi still loves being a big sister. She watches out for her little brother. Whenever he spits up she says, “He’s melting! Mama, he’s melting!” When he cries she tells either Jack or I to get him, and if mama tries to get him when she said for daddy to do it – watch out! She also tells me what is wrong with him, such as, “Mama, he needs POOKIES!” Very cute. He now has a runny nose, though, from all the big sister kisses and hugs. Good for the immune system, I guess.
Oh, and we have his official nickname now. He is little Kola. That is what the real nickname for Nikolai is, and it works for us. Jack and I call him ‘half-liter’ now, too. (Because Super Troopers is one of our favorite movies – we can’t help it.)
Last Wednesday we had a big seafood feast to celebrate V-Day. That’s right. Jack had his “procedure” done and that is what he wanted to eat to celebrate. He is doing fine, his boys are doing fine, too – with the help of Percocet and Crown.
More later, just wanted to let you know we are still alive – just tired!
