indecisiveness!

Life is....indecisiveness!  Staying in Wendover. No, Tooele. No, Wendover. Make up your minds! ...and they say women are indecisive. Apparently men can be just as bad. We were told we could stay in Tooele through the entire job  and now we are told that if we do, Nathan will have to drive his own vehicle to work, which after this first month will be an hour and a half to two hour drive. Many of you have seen what we pull the camper with (Dodge 5500 essentially) and it doesn't exactly scream 'great fuel mileage'!  That being said we will be moving to the campground at Wendover on Friday. This is not necessarily a bad thing. There are in fact many positives to this; an actual campground, bigger hopefully better laundry facility, a pool, and more room around the camper for parking and sitting outside. The biggest negative is not having as much for stores and food at our disposal. Guess that means we should save more money right? Let's hope that is the case.  Part two of the indecisiveness is that Nathan was told he would be working five, 10 hour days and now he is working four, 10 hour days. Once again this has some positives as far as I am concerned. Three day weekends with my hubby sounds great to me. On the other hand a bigger paycheck sounds good to both of us, as this is the reason for being on the road.  Oh well, such is the life of working on the road. 

Now to update our 'lift off and re-entry procedures'  checklist. This is the list that we consult and go through like airline pilots before we pull slides in and drive down the road. This list ensures that we do the least amount of damage possible to our belongings and the trailer itself.  The list came about after the first few times things happened like forgetting to lock the pocket doors and they came unseated, and not putting the dishwasher scrubber in the sink and it falling between the outside of the slide and wall and making a large dent/crack.  Now we get to add the rearrangement of baby items to the list as well as delete a few that are no longer applicable.  I think this will be a good trial run to say the least. 

Let's get to the topic you all want to hear about; HARLAN!!! Harlan is 3 months old as of this last Friday and we still can't believe how much he grows right before our very eyes.  Whenever he is in a semi reclined position he tries very hard to sit up. He pulls his head forward as far as he can and holds himself there. He also spends lots of time looking at his hands and once in awhile he catches a glimpse of his feet.  He loves to lay in his crib and talk and talk and talk (especially when he is supposed to be sleeping).  He is overall a very happy child so if he is crying or fussing it is a sure sign he needs fed or changed. He also lets you know if he is bored and wants to talk to you or play. He is a busy little boy already so I think we are in for it when he learns to get around.
