A Letter to My Readers
Dear Readers,
Last week, I flew to Florida to meet two new friends.
We had lots of fun! We did some eating....
We did some writing....
We hung out.
We also had dance parties.
Do you realize how many songs lyrics are secretly about babies? For example, "I want a girl with a short diaper and a LOOOOOOOOOONG blanket." Or, "If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean, and if I had a baby, I'd bring her on my boat."
Also, sometimes we howled.
And then, maybe later, we felt a little better.
Despite appearances...
...my new friends don't sleep that much. Frankly, the rest of us are a bit boggled by their stamina.
Seriously. Everyone is boggled.
Now I'm back in Massachusetts. It's quiet here, far away from my new friends.
Quiet and lonely.
*sniff*
How was your week?
Fondly,
Kristin

They have good luck, I would like to sleep now.
Thank you for sharing your pictures! You have a wonderful family and beautiful nieces. It looks like you all had such a great time, lack of sleep and all :)
They bring tears to my eyes because they made me remember those days with my own kids, who are now 8,6, and 3. Even for the 3 year old, those precious days seem so long ago. It's a little sad when they grow out of babyhood, but just as amazing when you see what amazing people they grow into next.
Congratulations to all of you!

So, SO gorgeous! It looks like it was exhausting and fun...and further proof that it does indeed take a village.
Everyone looks so pooped hehe
It makes me miss the days when my boys were that small...except they didn't sleep much, either. Maybe I don't miss it as much as I thought I did.
Thanks, everyone :o)
Incidentally, my daughter-in-law just informed me that my new grandson is practicing the world's foremost torture on she and my son, sleep depriviation.
Best wishes to your extended family!
Randomly, I didn't know you were a lefty! I'm a boring righty myself, but lefty's rock!
My youngest baby turns 19 today, and I find myself missing those sweet moments when it is just you and you babe cuddling and cooing and so full of love.
Thanks for all the baby love, everyone :o)
Congratulations Auntie Kristin!
On another note, I'm learning about twins in my Medical Anthropology class.. Small world ;)

My aunt, who had boy twins in May, has that same green baby bed thingie.
Children are so adorable. But exhausting. It was a great post. The cat passes out was the funniest.
*sniff*
