Finally found the cord






So after moving about 7 weeks ago, we are finally getting unpacked.  We are down to about 5 boxes all of which contain miscellaneous items.  I told Peter that if we didn't use anything from the boxes, we should probably just toss them in about 6 months.  All that said, I finally found the cord to the camera so I have downloaded pictures of Jennifer.  She is just so cute!  Life is really fun now with her smiling and "talking" to us.  Work is going really well.  I am not having any problems getting the hours I need to in and Jennifer is cooperating with me.  There are times where she has to stay in her crib, but these times don't last too long and usually she will just look around or fall asleep.  Most of my work day revolves around her napping schedule anyway.  Since she is spending so much time in her crib awake, she has recently started falling asleep in her crib by herself without rocking.  That has just been wonderful.  I can put her in there after feeding her with a little bit of rocking.  If she wakes up when I put her down, she will fall back to sleep.  

So this week I found a horrible surprise.  I was trying to grow basil, peppers and onions like I did last year.  Well now that we are in Lynchburg there are new pests that I am not used to.  Since I grew stuff on our balcony last year, I had minimal issues.  When I went to water the plants on Tuesday this week, I found what seemed like 100 beetles eating my plants.  I had never seen so many bugs.  To make it worse they fly and kept running into Peter and me.  It was totally gross.  I have since killed them with insecticide.  Now I have to go assess the damage.  I think my basil is gone though.  Oh well.  I think I still have time to replant it if I want to.  We will see.  Gardening is hard this year with Jennifer having arrived.
