One of those weekends.

You know, one of those weekends when you:

1) Get way more done outside that you ever thought possible (with the exception of manuring the strawberries. but that can wait).

2) You and your child come down with a awful as heck cold that puts both you and her out of commission. But then you remember that you can't *be* out of commission because you're the mom.

3) You find your beloved family pet acquired his golden tail without so much as a goodbye or even a hint of illness, leaving the family heartsick.

4) Wake up from your afternoon nap (still sick) to find that your little girl smeared poop all over the sunroom windows and is now shoving her brown sticky hands in your face saying, "poopy, mommy!"

5) You get a letter from a long lost friend only to find that you and he both have a little boy and BORN ON THE SAME DAY! How cool is that?

You know, one of those kinds of weekends. Major ups, and major downs.

Sigh.

I know we're overdue for some family photos. So, here are some rather comical photos of Ana in her various sleeping positions:


Yes, sleeping standing up.


Here Dan is sporting a smile because he finally gets to watch the DIY network and not The Jungle Book for the tenth time.


And Tobias taking a much needed nap. I can't get enough of these kinds of pictures because pretty soon he'll be way to heavy for me to comforatably carry him for the duration of his naps in this carrier. The advantage of this one is that he can be carried up high, and he can peek over my shoulder when he's awake and explore the world. In a few months, he will tear my shoulders apart with his girth and I will have to carry him in the beco which puts his weight on my hips, but then he can't rest his cute little face on the back of my neck because he'll be too low. Oh, if only this were my sole worry
