One Week With Will

-
Sleeping, Part I of MMM.


Touchdown! Learned by watching the Vikings with Daddy.

An action shot!!






















Sleeping in various spots: basket, Daddy.


Josiah and Annika having a writer's workshop.


















What to report? This kid can sleep. And sleep and sleep and sleep. We're pretty sure that his super power is sleep-related. I caught him awake in a couple of these pictures, but I think that he's been awake a grand total of 4-1/2 hours since we brought him home on Saturday!

Oh, my. He is so beautiful, as are Annika and Josiah - well, Josiah is handsome. Not only that, you and Hans look very content. I'm very happy for all of you and am looking forward to my first time holding Will. Please greet the family for me.

Thanks for the new pictures!!!

Did Will sleep in a laundry basket? I think that one of ours has held all of the grandchildren at one time or another. Count your blessings if he is sleeping a lot. He must be used to the noises in your home. Do you have a budget for markers for Joe and Annie? It looks like they are still using them a lot. Take care.

Yes, thanks for the pix. Will is still tired and recovering from all those gymnastic moves he was doing the last few months. Third babies are laid-back I guess. Enjoy!

I had to study that last picture some. At first I thought Will was showing his angel wings. Then I realized it's a "nook". I think the wings are more fitting. :)

Yes, he is gorgeous. I'm glad to hear that he is taking it easy on you guys for the first week anyway! Snuggling with a warm, sleeping baby is so nice.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
