Thank You Ken and Jane!



Ken and Jane's trip has come to an end and we're both thankful and sad. They were so much help to all of us and it was great to have them meet little Sara. Tonight has been much harder without the use of 4 sets of hands to soothe sweet Sara girl :-) Now, we have to soothe her and make dinner, and do dishes, and clean up...we are so grateful for their help.

Tonight after much to-do with Sara and her not wanting to settle, Ryan pulled out the hairdryer. Not to do his hair mind you, but it instantaneously calmed her down and put her to sleep. Sweet! It was like magic. We've had her long enough now though, to not get our hopes up on something new. What worked today may not work tomorrow...but now we have something new to add to our arsenal. :-)
P.S.-the six week mark has come and gone...so much for the fussiness coming to an abrupt halt like everyone told us :-) We're banking on the 3 month mark now!!

Maybe buy a white noise machine? We LOVE ours and it would sound like the hair dryer. So glad you had a good visit with the fam.

Isn't it nice to have extra hands around to help? My mom has done all of our laundry for the past week and it's just SO NICE!! I don't know what I'm going to do when she leaves...
Maybe one day this week I'll drive Moana into Kailua and we can walk the Lanikai loop or something? I need to plan outings out of the house! :)
