Three months old

Yesterday Lydia Catherine was three months old. Hard to believe! I have been scrapbooking some in my spare time (I don't have much of that!). I am pretty much satisfied with the amount I've done so far. I think I've got a good overall collection of pages from birth to now.
Classes are going well, but I think it may have been unwise to sign up for two classes and SWI. Frankie had to keep Lydia for an hour yesterday while I went to class. When I returned, she was screaming her head off! Big tears were rolling down her cheeks and Frankie looked just as bad. He basically shoved her at me and said she had been crying like that since five minutes after I left. After I had her only a couple of minutes, she calmed down. I reminded him I had SWI later (for two hours) and he just groaned. Lucky for him, she was much better last night. She did cry some, but only for a short while, he said. He can't manage to get any reading or studying done when he's alone with her. On one hand, I feel like I should be here with her because I know he needs all the time he can get to study and read. On the other hand, if not for those few periods of time when I'm gone, he wouldn't be spending much time with her. My other reason for suspecting I'm taking on too much is that I don't really have enough time to read all that I need to...or if I do make the time, laundry gets too piled up, dishes go unwashed for the day, etc. Anyway, we'll make it work this semester, but next time I'm only taking ONE class. :)
As far as the classes go, I really am enjoying the information. Very interesting.
