Long time no post...

What's happened in the last month? Lessee...work got really busy, Gram came to Newton and lived with us for a few weeks while Chris worked, the kids have been taking turns getting colds and/or runny ear infections, and I have been fantasizing about sleeping a solid 8 hours. Chris' brother and sister-in-law insist they want to take the kids for a night and my parents also claim the same thing, so I need to figure something out. Fast. I have also toyed with the idea of leaving for a hotel after the kids go to bed and just letting Chris deal with Avery. That seems like an awesome idea to me. Avery happens to be the wiggliest baby of all time and this doesn't stop when she falls asleep. And since she wails whenever she isn't smashed right up against me to sleep I basically get kicked and grabbed all night. The sleep deprivation makes me cranky, and this is why I am spacey at work and why your loud chewing noises bother me more than usual, and why I feel like I want to hurl my cats at the wall when they walk on me at 3 A.M. et cetera.

But here she is being cute at the park
