Every name but the right one

well...I'm officially a crazy mom. I always said I wouldn't turn into the type of mom that calls all her kids by the wrong name. I'm calling Eban Jackson and Jackson Eban...I'm calling my husband Seamus...I'm calling Seamus by yelling for Murphie - and she's been gone since August! I think I've lost my marbles!

Today, Eban started school. I'm sure I'll have a report sometime this weekend about his first day. We took these pictures outside the school this morning. It was really fun to see him with the other kids. And late this morning, mom and I drove by the school and we saw his "All Blacks" rugby fleece running along the fence in the play yard and you could tell he was having fun. God I loved seeing that!

Jackson has been a tad cranky in the morning and early afternoon. Is there such thing as a colicky baby at certain times of the day? Two nights ago, Ryan and I had a huge challenge as Eban woke up screaming bloody murder for two straight hours. I never knew he had such good lungs that could power such high volumn screams. Nothing worked to soothe him. Around 1:30am when he finally went to sleep, Jackson started to use his lungs for a hour...my goodness...thank god for Folgers in the morning. I love the quote in my coffee mug that says, "Instant Coffee Takes Too Long." After a night like that, there isn't a more truthful comment. I even had to wake up my mom at 5:00am and beg her to rock Jackson simply so I could get two continuous hours of sleep. I'm sure there will be more nights like this but man alive...am I happy to have help from people at this time! And thank goodness for Gripe Water...

Nani is off to Vail this weekend. I'm sure I'll report to you on Sunday about what she learned.
