documenting a day on the job

for hours and hours. all day long. this kid will sit and stare, kick and coo. at a light. only if he's here, on this table, under this light. like it's the most important business in the world. and it is, to him. so i pull up a chair and get to work myself, because i've got a job to do too... make sure he doesn't kick himself right off that table ;)

this weekend, my mom and her husband are in town. they drove all the way from south dakota on their way to arizona (let that process for a second... okay, now look at a map of the u.s. here). they've brought with them a cargo of christmas presents that huck procured while we were in sd last week. we're excited to have visitors again and we're grateful for their ever-present generosity, because virginia is about 3,600 miles o.u.t. of their way and they're delaying their trip to this place for this place. those crazies :)

have a wonderful weekend. henry slept like a champion for 5.5 straight hours last night, and his mother is bouncing off the walls with energy we haven't seen in these parts since henry was just a glimmer of hope for two clueless lovebirds. cross your pretty fingers for a repeat (times infinity).
