Psychedelic bathtime

I'm soooo tired....

James was back for a couple days between his two work trips, and Ah Mah has been fantastic with helping take care of the boys (and us!), but I'm still sooo tired. I've been getting up at about 5 every day (August demands me in the morning if James isn't here), and Leif's sleep has gone all weird so I've been up with him 2-5 times every night, so I'm probably sleeping 4-5 (nonconsecutive) hours each night. It hurts.

Oh, the fun things you can do with photos....

Return of the light

You guys, I have the best news:

Do you see that? That tiny little sliver of light? For about twenty minutes today, there was light in our apartment! We had about two weeks of grey days, wet with rain and snow. By the time the clouds lifted, the days had grown nearly an hour longer. James and I both feel so different - our small, cramped, dark world feels a bit more expansive now, our home less like a cave, us less like troglodytes.

And this guy - oh, this guy. Sigh...

I am so, so lucky to have these boys in my life. All three of them. 

Bath time shenanigans

I haven't posted a video in quite some time, have I? Well, here's one of Augie's bath last night:


 Yesterday was Augie's first day at preschool alone. He did well - they said he was fine most of the day, and he took a nap (though only twenty minutes long). When I walked through the door to pick him up, though, he burst into tears. But within three minutes of being on the bus back home, he was giggling and smiling.

This was taken just after I picked him up, when I put him in the stroller to head home:

Here's hoping he continues to adjust, nap, and enjoy his new friends.
