In the weeds

6/15/12

Well, the length of time since the last post should give some indication of how the week went.  We have been dealing with a sick dog and two kids that won't stop eating.  As I try to shake the fog of little sleep off each morning I can't help but think 'I signed up for this.'  I know it could be worse and we could be without all help we have been receiving.  However, the non-stop schedule is taking its toll on all of us.  I, for one, was jealous of a homeless man this week.  I have not lived in the city long enough to walk past people on the street unnoticed (and I hope I never get to that point) and my heart usually aches for them.  One morning this week I was on the bus and I noticed a homeless guy sleeping in a park as we rolled by and I caught myself wishing I could switch places.  Of course, reality set in and I ached for that man, but for one brief moment I was willing to sleep in the park for nights on end if it meant sleep.

I haven't had to clean up after the dog in several days and she doesn't need to go out several times a night any longer so we are back to our 5 or 6 hours of sleep on a good night and plugging away.

Enough whining, b/c I wouldn't trade these little growing weeds for anything (even sleep in a park).  Time for pictures.

Tummy Time

There is no way you are making me lay on my tummy!

I got 'em, you guys go take a nap you look tired.

Pretty common, Emily is awake and Evan is asleep

'Is it time to eat?'

'No, then why am I awake?'

Throw your hands in the air and way 'em around like you just don't care

Evidence they are growing. This was big on him two weeks ago.
