rub-a-dub-dubby

A while back, I found a picture of me in the tub at 4 months old. I also found a similar picture of Brandon in the tub at that age. I was curious whether the kids looks liked me or Brandon so I recreated the picture with Zach and now with Halle. It's kind of fun to compare.

What do you think? Who do you think Zach and Halle look like?

ahhh... the sweetness of a gift

I am into gifts and Brandon gave me a gift today. It was the best possible gift I could have ever received.

The gift?

An extra hour of sleep!!!

Bless him. He knows the way into his wife’s heart. I have been sleep deprived since a certain member of the family was born 4 months ago. She is sweet, but she is the worst sleeper. I’m pretty sure she missed an orientation class before coming down to earth. The class: How To Sleep and Give Your Mom a Break 101. I don't think she even attended one session. You'd think they would monitor those things better up there.

Anyways… Brandon snuck into her room early this morning as she was stirring, wrapped her like a burrito, popped in her binkie, and watched as she drifted back to sleep. This sweet, simple act allowed me to sleep a whole extra hour. Isn't he the best?!?

I love flowers, but I’ll take sleep any day.
