6 hour sleeping stretch!

Thats right! Last night Makayla slept for six hours straight without waking up. I doubt that will happen again any time soon though. She was really tired because we had a long night. We all went to Duncan's 1st Sgt's house for dinner. Well, after dinner we started playing board games. We played Military Pictionary (really hard), regular Pictionary, Outburst (really fun) and Scategories, Well, the 1st Sgt is already a very loud person, and everyone there was getting really into the games. We were all yelling and screaming at the top of our lungs. There were 2 other children there who were sleeping in the living room, and were completly not phased... at all. But my poor Makayla just couldn't stay asleep. She was OK for a while, but when something exciting would happen like cheating, (I won't say any names... 1st SGT) we would all get really loud and her little eyes would pop open. I was shocked she didn't get cranky because she was so tired, but she was a perfect angle the whole time. I was also shocked she didn't fall asleep as soon as we got home. She was up for a couple more hours when we got here, but when she did go to sleep she was out for a whole 6 hours. She usually does 4 hour stretches, so that extra 2 hours really made me happy. I needed it as much as she did.

Today wasn't as exciting as last night for Makayla, but I am really excited! I bought a new digital camera today! Its a Kodak with 6.1mp, compared to the 2.3mp that I have been working with. I know... that camera is really old, but all the pictures on this page so far are from that old thing. They aren't to bad I don't think.

Speaking of pictures... here are some. These are from the old camera. This picture makes me laugh cause it looks like she wants to say "MAN do I have a headache!" But shes just trying to wake up. Its funny watching her wake up because she makes it seem like such hard work. It usually takes a good 5 to 10 mins before she can wake up all the way.


Heres her and her famous eye. Ever since she was born she always seems to leave her right eye closed more than her left. I was really worried for a while that she was going to have a lazy eye, but when she opens those beautiful eyes she makes my worries go away.


Heres her and daddy napping on the couch. They sure do look comfy!


Well, tomorrow I will try to put some pictures up here from the new camera. Maybe we can see if there is really that big of a difference.
