The next step


I had a realization this morning. So we haven't been able to take as many pictures as we used to, and I don't think the quality of said pictures reflects our former potential. But, I realized why. One, we're busier. Two, and not inconsequentially, any time we take out the camera sienna says " nononono. no picture, no picture," and then starts running towards the camera to grab it and throw it down. And thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, sienna does not stay still, like, at all, so every picture I attempt is a blur. Her photogenicness has faded, not because she got hit with an ugly stick, but she just will not stay still for a photo.




So as many of you know, laura and I are preggers, and by laura and I, I mean Laura, and by Laura I mean Laura and I. Due thanksgiving. Everything's well. What that means is that our little family re-enacts our physics-defying dance in which 3+1=4, and yet 3+1>4.
While studying chronic kidney disease, I saw a young gal (=32) with a wee babe (1/12) strapped onto her front walking across the way. The babe was sleeping while she was on and off the phone. and I think it hit me then that pretty soon I'm going to have a wee babe strapped to my front as I'm on and off the computer. I remember when Sienna was a month old and, after what our family had been through, I felt myself changing, felt myself grounding, felt myself, oozing. Those first few months were some of the best of my life. And today it hit me, that we're doing this again. It's doing us again.
watch out, you won't know what hit you

This is a fun game sienna likes to play. It's called coccoon. It's
where you wrap her up like a burrito. That's it. That's the game

So she insists on playing coccoon in the hammock too.
yeah, we're buds.
She helps with my Intro to Clinical Med Homework
Hmmmm. It seems Google now wants me to pay money for this.  I will try to figure this out. hopefully, it isn't the end...
