Quiet...

Sorry for the dearth of posts recently, folks. Life has been loud so the blog has been quiet. I personally am blaming the combination of the end of the grading quarter, report card week, and conference week in quick succession, paired with the additional fun of 6-8 nighttime wakings, between our two little darlings, each night. Somehow I end up without much left to give to writing and reflection by the end of the day. Many days I feel quite accomplished if I manage to load the dishwasher.

Today was a bit of a respite, actually. The long awaited 1/2 day of conferences, a morning spent chatting with parents and then off for the afternoon. November obliged with sunny 65 degree weather, pure bliss. The kids napped at the same time and Nat and I squandered it well, sitting around with a friend and chatting in the sun. We walked as a family to Starbucks and all thoroughly enjoyed tacos for dinner. Jack was less whiny than he's been and pooped on the potty without too much incident. Ivy only wailed for about 10 minutes at bedtime.

So, yeah, today was good.

Coming attractions:
Look for some photos of Jack at preschool, and maybe I can convince Nat to make a guest appearance and write about that experience a bit.

27 week photos to be taken tomorrow. 27 weeks!! Wowza.

Oh, yeah, and we are hopefully going to be picking up some secondhand ski equipment for Jack, tomorrow afternoon. So something to really look forward to? Pictures of the boy learning how to ski this winter. I can't wait.
