Will Sleep for Food

What a deal! If you bring us food and take care of Annie, we'll sleep in return. See how sweet:

She's a really calm baby too, so it shouldn't be too much work.

And she makes great faces.


We're coming up on two weeks and soon the full-time help will be gone. It has been great having family in town. Kara's parents were in town for several days after Annie was born, then my Mom and Sister took over. They all have been so much help: giving advice and comfort, cooking great food, calming Annie at all hours, changing diapers, cleaning up, preparing the garden, mowing, fixing the cars, providing laughter, etc. It's been a blessing.

Grandma Millie (Kara's Mom) is a baby magician. And Stan (her Dad) has the touch (picture's still on grandma's camera).


And Annie love's Grandma Miller's sweet talking and Stweet's extreme rocking (my Mom and Sister).

Over the next few weeks we'll probably be relying heavily on help from friends.

Overall, Anna has been a great baby. It's just a matter of adjusting and learning. Some aspects of breastfeeding have been difficult. Kara got mastitis a few days ago, so she had to take antibiotics, which upset Annie's tummy, in turn making her cranky for a couple days. So it was a bit stressful. But Mom and baby are both doing much better now.
