trust

j. is going to quit his job friday.

i think.

that's the plan, anyhow. it's been a long time coming. they treat him terribly. i feel okay about it. i trust him and i feel like we could go a couple months before we'd really feel it. and i don't think it would take that long for him to find a new job. he's really talented as a clinical therapist. he's been unhappy in his career for months now.

ella has been a blessing. she talks so much in what sounds like full sentences. she's so aware of everything around her, and she has been really pleasant and sleeping well. she goes to bed between six and eight now, so we really have our evenings back. i get up with her at six in the morning and she's so much fun then with all of her smiles. she's still trying really hard to roll over. she gets about 90% of the way there, and then rolls back.

e. and i have heard back from several college girls regarding our advertisement for a babysitter. i'm really excited to meet these girls and possibly lock in one of them as a babysitter.

we've been very blessed with having momB and k. watch the babies while we've gone to work. so far we've only had to do the ridiculous switching off one and a half days. it's been so nice to come home and take naps with elenora and read "east of eden."

ella and j. have really built a strong bond. she always smiles at him and is calmer when j. is around. i'm always happy when she's awake when he gets home, even if it's just for fifteen minutes.

i guess he'll be home a lot more now.
