Sleep?????

I don't know where the past 2 weeks have gone. I guess when you are feeling a little sleep deprived, the idea of spending a free moment updating the blog is not high on the priority list. The lack of sleep isn't even due to the fact that I get up to nurse a six week old, but more to the fact that our 3 year old is getting up in the middle of the night. For some reason, Mason has only slept thru the night once in the past 2 weeks. He sleeps with a light on and we keep his door open (otherwise, when he wakes he bangs on it). I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that Spencer sleeps in our room. Hopefully, we will be able to transition Spencer to his room in the next couple of weeks and get Mason back on track. I'm tired of just falling back to sleep after feeding Spencer to the calls of Mommy moments later. Tim or I end up laying with Mason in his bed (sometimes just until he falls back asleep and other times we fall asleep ourselves in his bed). I have always required a lot of sleep (8-10 hours) and lately I'm lucky to get 6 hours of broken sleep. I know it is only a phase and we will all be sleeping better again some day.
So anyhow, that is my excuse for not updating the blog. So to catch everyone up, we didn't get into the preschool I wanted. We are #2 on the waiting list. My fingers are crossed that we may still get in at some point. I am going to look into a couple of other preschools (although the down fall is the distance). Also, I signed Mason up for soccer. He starts at the end of this month. I know we will all benefit from him burning off some extra built up energy every Friday. I am also really working on the potty training. My goal now is to have him fully potty trained (during the day) by June. I am being realistic and giving myself plenty of time. Also, Mason has gotten quite good at the computer. He loves to play memory on the Thomas website. He has an excellent memory, it amazes me. I'm also amazed at well he is with the mouse. Good hand-eye coordination.
Spencer is getting bigger every day. He smiles a lot and makes lots of coo sounds. He usually wakes twice during the night (around 12:30 or 1:00 and again around 5:00). He still sleeps a lot during the day too, although I look forward to a couple of longer naps and not just these cat naps.
As for me, I have been practicing taking pictures outside of auto mode. The scrapbook website I like (twopeasinabucket) is offering a free 12 week photography course. I also hope to start up
scrapbooking again soon. That's about all for now. Enjoy the pictures. As you can see, we have had a lot of snow and are expected to get more tonight into tomorrow.
