So very tired..........

Finally the weekend is almost here! I am so very tired today. As you know we are all living at the in-laws for this week and although we feel blessed by their hospitality we are oh-so-very tired. Staying so far from our "normal life" is rough. The commute alone is reason enough to cry. I think it takes Jason 2 hours door to door to get to his job in Chicago! Me, only 50 minutes, but still it is rough to have to wake up Ollie so early and get everyone out the door. I am blessed to have the rest of the week off so I am looking forward to some time to relax! Last weekend was full of packing, packing, cleaning and moving, not much rest and relaxation, and since we can not yet move in, there is not much I can do but to just sit idle and relax the next few days! Saturday morning we leave at 5:00 am to Fremont, Wisconsin for some fishing and camping! I will be sure to post some pics!

I finally got the video to post, so check it out of Ollie almost crawling, I will try to post some new pics and videos this weekend! Vaya con Dios!

Adventures in Babysitting

What a wonderful weekend to have had. I spent the better half of last week haphazardly packing up our apartment. As most of you know we are moving into a house about a half mile west of our apartment. We are pretty excited. We were very fortunate and had about 15 people come and help us move our stuff out and into the garage of the new place. This week we will be "in limbo" and be staying with the in-laws in Mundelein! Not bad except for the whole commuting to Evanston thing, but that's alright, we will survive!

Saturday we will leave for Red River in Wisconsin for Ollie's first fishing trip! We will return on Labor Day to resume moving into the new place! Jason will be painting and suspect I will be unpacking and cleaning! Look for postings of the new place next week!

Ollie is almost crawling!

Dragged Behind the Bandwagon

Yes. I am completely un-originally and have too started a blog. I am pretty sure maybe only about 4 people on this planet may tune in to read the exciting adventures of the Strayhorn family, but I am here, bored, and ready to blog!

I have named our blog Sleep in Progress, inspired by a pajama t-shirt worn by a little chubby munchkin I know by the name of John, and because it seems to be the theme of my life since we had one Mr. Oliver James.

So, not sure where to start but hope you enjoy!
