Ratcliffe Update

Here is the update on everyone!

Cade: He is doing really well. He is starting to smile more and sometimes even laugh and coo. He either has a really good night or has a horrible night-and we are lucky to have more good nights. He nows weighs 11 pounds. He goes to Cole's mom house M/W/F while Cole is at school and I am at work. On T/TH he goes to campus with Cole because he has one class and then does some research which gives him some flexibility and ability to take care of Cade. He has found a baby changing station in one of the boys bathrooms in the SWKT and takes a little cooler that has his milk in it. It has been working pretty well. Cole does a very good job playing mom!

Me: I have been back to work. Its was fun to be back and be able to teach better and have more energy without the limitations of pregnancy but it is so hard to leave everyday!! I hate it! Before I leave he is ususally the happiest because he has just woken up and has been fed. He is so adorable then and I have to leave him! But I know he is in good hands during the day. I am feeling well and all recovered just usually quite tired.

Cole: Cole has been applying to graduate schools and we have heard back from 3: He is accepted into Kansas State, has been interviewed and accepted into Oklahoma State, and has an interview with Purdue. He was really impressed at the Oklahoma interview which kind of surprised both of us. He really liked the professors, the program, and it is only 4 hours from Dallas. Kansas has always been his top choice (he has not been there because they do not have interveiws) but now Oklahoma is looking good. So now we are waiting to see how the Purdue interview goes, see if he gets accecpted there and then make our decision. I hate big decisions!!

Events: Last weekend my family came up for the blessing. It was really exciting becuase this was the first time for my dad and sisters to meet Cade. We had a good time. (more pictures coming!)
