Clothes

Remember how in Russia we don't have a dryer? Dryers are rare, but I think are getting more popular. I think I would take a dishwasher over a dryer. Anyway, we back to scratchy towels and stretched out jeans (you know how your jeans fit the best after they come out of the dryer? Too bad mine are always loose now...I guess I could make myself think I am just getting skinnier!). Gwen has her complaints about no dryer as well. I put Gwen back in cloth after being here for a couple of days. Thought I would start saving money on diapers as soon as I could! Usually after washing the diapers you dry them and they are clean and oh so soft. Well, we have to air dry (hang on a clothes line) the diapers (prefolds for those of you who cloth diaper) now. These are what they look like...

Do you feel sorry for the little squirt? Below I am holding up the diaper by the bottom and it is so stiff that it stands on its own. Again, poor Gwen's bottom.

I actually think that Gwen doesn't mind or notice. Oh well, I suppose since she is the second child she will just have to learn to be tough:)! She seems happy enough.

I know many of you have been praying for little Gwen's sleeping issues. They are still very much alive. Hopefully she will grow out of it soon. Please continue to pray for this girl and for us as we tweak stuff here and there to help her learn to sleep better at night!

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and the sleepless and tough little Gwen

  1. Ok....a few comments:
    1. First of all, I HATE my jeans after the dryer. They fit the worst. You are just so skinny that you can say that. I actually laughed out loud when reading that comment. I think you and a SMALL handful of people MAY agree with you.
    But, I guess my solution should be....I guess I should try not drying my jeans :)
    2. Oh Poor Gwen. Those cloth diapers look just horrible.
    3. I am thinking of MAYBE trying cloth. What are all your suggestions!

  3. Seriously? You're holding that diaper from the bottom?! Ummm, that a little too hard, I think.
