the happenings

it's been a busy week or two at the baldwin home.
first, i was called to be the second counselor in the relief society presidency.
then, two days later, cody was in a pretty bad accident, resulting in a trip to the emergency room, crutches, and totaling the car.
third, we've been working on getting mae to sleep through the night.
and i've started personal training!

let's start from the top...
i'm very humbled and a little overwhelmed at my new calling.  i've jumped right in, and can only pray that the Lord will guide me.

cody's accident was scary, and happened on his way into work.  luckily he and the man in the other car were both okay.  he had this massive bump on his leg that only got bigger over the next hour, so i had to run him to the ER.  no broken bones, just a bruised bone, and a leg contusion that we like to call larry.
my car on the other hand...didn't fare so well.  it saved cody's life, and that's all that matters to me.

at three months mae was sleeping from 9-5...awesome.  but that slowly began to get shorter and shorter, until she was waking up consistently at 3:30am. i would let her cry a little bit, then go in there, try to put her paci in, if that didn't work i would pick her up and try to rock her back to sleep. which would usually take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.  i needed some help.   so, i talked to a few ladies at church and read a bunch for reviews and we decided to try the "sleep easy solution".  and it was great.  kind of rough for the first few nights.  but within 6 nights, she was sleeping from 7pm to 6am....amazzzingg!  she's a trooper.

i've been personal training cody's aunt for about 2 months now, and this week i just started training my mom and i absolutely love it.  it has been so much fun for me to create new workouts, and to changes in cody's aunt's stamina and health.  and i'm so glad to be doing what i studied at school.

so those are the happenings at our home.  oh...and mae's hair after bath time...
