8 hours of Sleep!!!

I can hardly believe it but yes, last night I got 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! I am probably jinksing myself now that I have said it. Lorenzo slept all night and didn't get up until almost 8:30 this morning. Rayna also slept in!! I can't remember the last time I have had 8 hours of sleep! I actually woke up at around 7 a.m. and had to go and check on Lorenzo to make sure he was still breathing. He was sound asleep so I went back to bed. It felt soooooo good!

Rayna had a good first full week of school. This next week is her class open house, so I will get to see more of what she is doing. I have to go by myself though, because Randy has to go to Detroit for the week. Yikes, me at home by myself with two kids for the week, does not sound like my idea of a good time! Wait, it gets better! In October it looks like he has to go to China for two weeks! Lucky me! The are going to think I am a single parent at Rayna's school. Randy hasn't been able to come to anything. He hasn't even ever seen the school!

Poor thing, Rayna scraped her knee up at school. She is deathly afraid of band aids, I don't know why, but she is. Randy told her she could play doctor and gave her a big band aid, some tape and some "magic saave" to put on it. She was very proud of herself for putting it on herself. Whatever it takes to get the band aid on!!
Ok I'm going to bed now. Maybe, just maybe I can get another 8 hours of sleep tonight!

Rayna's 1st day of school/Monster Baby

Rayna started school yesterday. I can't believe my baby girl is in school already. She is attending Athens Montessori School five days a week from 9 a.m.-Noon. She has had a great first two days. She walks right into her class and barely says good-bye to me. I guess that is better than clinging to me. She seems to really like it so far. I ask her what she did and the only thing she tells me is she played in the sandbox and what she had for snack. You know, the important stuff. I think school is going to be really good for her. She is so smart. Her little mind is just like a little sponge.

On another note, I think I am growing a monster. Lorenzo went for his two month check up this week. I know, I'm a little behind since he is actually three months old, but we've been gone.
Anyway, he is in the 95% for height at 24 3/4 inches and 75% in weight at 13lbs. 9 oz. He is HUGE!!! I had to go to Walmart today and buy him 6-9 month pjs!!! That is crazy!! It is such a big difference compared to tiny little Rayna. She is still tiny at only 27 lbs. and 36 1/2 inches at three years old!

Here are some pictures. The first one of Rayna is on her first day of school. The next picture is us taking a boat ride on my sister's lake. The third picture is at my dad's birthday party. The next picture is Rayna with her cousin Delina. The last picture is of Kennedy and Rayna reading a book. Rayna had a really good time hanging out with her cousin Delina and going for a boat and tube ride. Lorenzo liked the boat ride so much he fell asleep.

Stay tuned for more Gaytan family adventures.

Michigan

Hi, We are in Michigan at the moment, well, me and the kids are in Michigan. Randy had to stay home and work. We came home for my dad's 65th birthday party. The kids did great on the way up. Lorenzo pretty much slept the entire time. We have been having a good time seeing friends and family. I will have to post pictures later as I am on my sister's computer. We are at her lake house today and getting ready to go out on the boat. Rayna is having fun playing with her cousin Delina. Everyone is enjoying the baby.

We went swimming at my mom's house the other day (Grandma Dee's house) and Rayna went down the slide twice! She is doing such a good job swimming. She loved the slide. She is really homesick this time around. She keeps asking to go home and wants to see her daddy. She even made up a little song about it the other day. "I miss my daddy. I love my daddy. My mommy and daddy love me so much." It was really cute. I just wish I had my video camera. Well I will definitely post more later when I get back to GA with pictures and maybe even some video from the trip if I can figure out how to do that!
