Got a little note in the mail today...
Today Allison got a note in the mail from President and First Lady Bush. (see below) She also got to go see the Pirate Pelican Show at the Southlake Art Festival. She didn't quite make it in time to see Daddy play a concert, but that's okay.
The last two nights Oda Mae has slept through the night and into the morning. I hope that this trend continues.
I'm going to post a few photos in the photo album tonight. I'll put up a link later.

Sorry...
I haven't posted in a while. It's difficult to find a time when I'm awake and alert to want to post a blog entry....
Well, we've been at this whole parenting thing for four weeks now. I wish I could say it has all been fun, but alas....no. Our entire lives have been turned up-side-down. Oda Mae's life has been turned right-side-up. Alli doesn't seem to sleep as much as the "books" say she will and when she is awake she tends to be a bit fussy. The good thing is that she only wakes up once in the middle of the night. (Granted we go to bed at 1am and get up in the morning at 5am), but still we only have to get up once during that time. :)
Some of you know that we went through a couple of tough days there at the beginning. She wasn't "getting rid of any wastes" if you know what I mean. We had to call the Dr. during an "emergency" hour and we moved our Dr.s appointment up a couple of days as well. All of that seems to be behind us now. She has regular diapers and everything.
I think that the hardest thing for Brenda to get used to is (I'm guessing here) to know what to do with her. She is with Alli 24/7, and I know she gets really tired sometimes. How many times can you sing all the songs you know before you just start going a little mad? Brenda has made great strides though. She is really doing an incredible job!!!!!
For me I have to admit that I'm a little jealous. For 6 1/2 years I had Brenda all to myself. Now I have to share. It isn't just the two of us any more, it's the three of us. What a different concept!
In spite of everything we really are enjoying our new lives. Oda Mae is getting bigger every day. She makes cute little noises. She loves her little dog and her little bunny. She is also learning to love us while we are learning to love her.
We have been taking a lot of pictures lately thanks to the "new to us" digital camera that we have taken possession of thanks to Grandma Marge and PaPa E. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll put up a new link to another album page soon. In the mean time, below is few of our favorites!
One more thing. I am in the middle of looking for a new job outside of playing and teaching the trumpet. While I will not be completely giving these things up it would be nice to have a steady income, insurance, retirement benefits, etc... If you could all pray for me that God would put me where he wants me, I would be most grateful.

My Oda Mae loves the little dog that sits on her changing table. She likes to look at it while other things are going on. She calls it her little Abby.
My Oda Mae loves to look at the pictures on the refrigerator that her mommy put up.
My Oda Mae is fascinated by the light in the kitchen.
My Oda Mae likes to watch the ceiling fan in her room.
My Oda Mae likes to be bounced.
My Oda Mae really likes her spa massager.
My Oda Mae likes to eat!

It's a brand new world....
Well, we've been able to catch up on a little sleep and that's a good thing! Oda Mae had to go to the Dr last week cause she wasn't having any diapers. We had to do some pretty yucky parenting stuff to help her out with this. Things seem to have gotten a little better though. We are having to supplement the feedings with a bottle for the time being. Some people don't advocate any supplements, but she's hungry! What else are we going to do? Oda Mae has had two baths now and she seems to like them pretty well.
We will have more pictures in a few days. It seems like she is already getting bigger. I hope she will be able to help me put up my Christmas lights in October!
Dad goes back to work today and Mom and Daughter will have some bonding time. I'll let you know how all that goes.
Jimmy, Brenda, and Allison
P.S. To Rob, Kip, and Grandma Eads......Good roast and fixings and pie......Thank you!
