I thought it was a little too quiet!

It should come as a surprise to no one that Alden does anything he can to keep from going to bed. Usually, this means a request for Apple Jacks right as his head is about to hit the pillow. For some reason (probably my own exhaustion) tonight I gave in to his request, and went into another room to import some photos while he ate. It got really quiet after a few minutes . . .

At least he didn't face plant in the bowl. Or maybe he did, and just slid off--hard to tell with the mess he left behind.
Kate is just as bad, but her weapon of choice is to read children's biographies of Chagall and Cezanne late into the night. How is a guy supposed to resist that? So she is sitting by my side as I write, and reading about Cezanne ('Dad, did you know he was 67 when he died in 1906?'). At this hour, even she is having to work hard to keep her eyes open. . . .
She didn't fall asleep mid-sentence, as her poor tired mom did, but she has finally given in.

By the way, Keegan, aka Dream Baby, went to sleep at about 8:00 p.m., with out so much as a peep.

Look out. Katie was a perfect baby...never cried, ate on a schedule, was perfectly sweet and cuddly then one day I came in the kitchen and she had a dozen eggs smeared all over her body. She dumped an entire bottle of syrup on the floor, drew on every wall in every house we have lived in, and very quietly and sneakily destroyed most of our belongings (Sam, of course has taken care of the rest). Beware of the perfect children--they are wolves in sheeps clothing.

I seriously can't wait to see/hear about Kate when she is older. I have a feeling she is gonna be amazing and some world renowned expert in whatever field she decides to pursue! This is gonna be exciting!
