Keeping the head up high
We’re coming up on Aubrey’s first birthday and sometimes it feels like she’s already hitting the “terrible two’s”! She’s been pulling up some good stunts lately, one has boggled our minds so much that its baffled even Susan’s mom. Susan looked at me after getitng off the phone and said “if it has my mom stumped, we’re really in trouble”!
Every other week we have our small group meetings and we have been (for the last few months) taking Aubrey to one of the couple’s house before group starts and Susan puts her down in one of their rooms to sleep in a pack-n-play. The last three times we found vomit in her crib where she had up-chucked but still she managed to fall asleep. This past meeting, as Susan layed her down, she threw up right then and there. It has us baffled why she only does it at our friends house and only after we put her to bed. Susan doesn’t feed her anything different adn really nothing is different other than the house she’s in. It’s a mystery.
On another topic, we had ou taxes done back in February but I’m just now getting around to sending them in. However, the folder they were in up in my office has seemed to have vanished. I’m usually carefull about such things so I’m baffled on where it could be. Not to say I don’t have my moments but taxes are something I usually don’t mess with. Anyway, luckily our tax guy keeps copies of everything but I’m sure it’s another fee to pay if we have to have him put them toegther again. Ugh!
The Guatemala project is coming along. We’ve finally released our first trailer for the film. You can check it out here: http://vimeo.com/3856754 . We are planning another trip to gather more footage. Not sure if I’ll be going along again or not, definitely would like to go back. But it would be another 10-15 days and I hate being away from Susan and Aubrey that long. But, it’s an exciting opportunity and I guess if the funding comes in, I’d consider it. Other than that, the stories are taking shape and we’re all excited about this venture.

Thanks for the update!
Re: Aubrey – here’s my two cents for what it’s worth!
Nausea is many times psychological. For example, we have cancer patients who start puking in the hospital parking lot before chemo even starts because they are conditioned to feel nauseous at that particular place. My guess is she genuinely got sick the first time or two and now she is “trained” to feel sick in those circumstances.
I would try changing as many things as possible about Aubrey’s small group experience. Keep her up longer than usual, put her down in a different room, use a different sheet or blanket and different pj’s etc. Sure hope this helps.
Happy birthday sweet girl! We love you!

UPDATE:
We found the folder with the tax returns so some relief as been established!
