And I thought we had problems...

For those of you who are near and dear to the Tenney family, you are probably aware of the new financial situation we find ourselves in with my return to work and Morgan's entrance into day care. For those who are not, imagine 25% of your take home salary going straight to the woman who takes care of your only child (although she does have to contend with diaper blow outs and breastmilk spit all day long). Leaving the debate about staying home vs. working for another day, I felt a little better about out situation today when I read about poor Brian Hunter who managed to lose $5 BILLION in one week on Wall Street. Of course we have to remember that a) it wasn't his money and b) he still has his job despite the major OOPS. And what's $5 billion among friends?

Morgan is becoming quite a sports fan. Since Patrick and I both really enjoy sports, both participating and watching, we have been trying to expose Morgan to all different types of sports. We have had a lot of comments on how young she is, but we feel that it is important to get her involved in family outings from the beginning. Hopefully she'll grow up to love sports just as much as we do, but if not at least we can say she was exposed to them!

Daddy and Daughter

Yesterday Morgan had to get her 2 month shots. As a result, she got to spend the entire day with her Daddy. Patrick dressed her himself and was so proud at the outfit he chose for her, right down to the Daddy's Girl top! Morgan did well at the doctor's office and had a good morning, but had a very rough afternoon with Daddy. Patrick said at around 2:00 she woke up from a short nap SCREAMING. It scared him because he had never heard her do that before. She continued to scream solid for an hour, during which she had a huge diaper blowout all the way up her back and then she threw up all over herself. He ended up giving her a bath which still didn't soothe her. At 3:00 she finally had cried so hard that she fell asleep. I felt so bad for them both. When I got home Patrick looked wore out and stressed and Morgan was fussy. She did sleep well last night and her little legs looked pretty good this morning. I haven't heard from Ellen (our sitter) so I guess Morgan is doing well at day care today.

Beginnings

Well, I had to join this site in order to post a comment to my friend Heidi's blog, so here's my attempt at keeping an online journal chroniciling the life of the Tenney family. Please bear with me as I work on trying to understand how this all works. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it!
