Day 314

I've been fighting with a lingering cold and stayed up way too late last night finishing up a project. This was the hour when I decided to call it a night, which is pretty early for me. (And no, it's not quarter to 3.)

Day 278

Tonight I have a picture share of two of my guys kicking back and reading a story before bed. I'm not sure why the littler guy felt he needed to be read to in our bed, but he enjoyed it. It's the simple things some days.

Day 242

It seems like I talk about books a lot, but I mention this one because I finally finished it and it's only taken me about 2 1/2 months. It's Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and it's a really good book about censorship.

It was written more than 50 years ago, and has a lot of very relevant stuff to say about technology and how we can end up using it to busy ourselves with stimulation and not take the time to question and think.

It's actually a very easy read and less than 200 pages. The reason why it took me so long is I've been working on other things and have been getting to bed later than I should. So when I'd pick it up, I'd make it about a page or two before I was fighting to keep my eyes open.

I actually cracked my brother up, who originally mentioned the book to me, by telling him I had about a page and a half left. He thought it was pretty humorous that I could be that close to the end and just decide to save it for another day.

I really recommend this book. It's interesting to think about. I didn't do it justice with my description, so check it out for yourself.

Day 229

I'm still exhausted from our trip this weekend for my cousin's wedding. I don't know what it is about driving nine hours in one day, but somehow it wears you out. Tonight I decided I'd put one of the last CDs from the book I listened to during our drive home on my iPhone. I'm going to listen to it in bed as I drift off to sleep early.

Day 145

For the end of the long weekend, I really wanted to accomplish something. I finally set aside much of the late morning and afternoon to convert Matt's room from baby storage to a toddler's room. The picture today is of his new sleeping arrangements.

Day 105

When I got to my parents' at lunch this afternoon, Matt was sound asleep in grandma's arms. I forget sometimes that he's still such a baby. It just reminded me of how little he still is seeing him all scrunched up and sleeping completely content on grandma. Those moments pass so quickly.

Day 61

This is what happened to me at about 9:30pm. I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I sacked out. I didn't quite sleep this way on the bed, but I got some much needed rest.

Day 12

This big guy does not sleep nearly enough, but he's too sweet looking when he does.
