Carmen, Fiona, and a Library Book, and, well . . .

Taking a moment to have a snack (well, okay, Dinner Part II) and catch up on a couple of projects before joining everybody else in sleep. I really didn't want to put Carmen to bed earlier tonight. I was enjoying her too much. As I rocked her she nursed, stood, jumped, sang, gurgled, pottied, took off our socks, explored my mouth, hair, and headlamp, and spoke German ("Goch! Goch!), Chinese ("Gu, Gu!"), Sheepish ("Ba Ba Ba!") and British English (Ta! Ta! Ta!). Frustrating, maybe, but I still wanted to kiss her cheeks until she giggled and squealed.

Of course, those things are funny in the evening, but tragic at midnight. Fortunately such antics are rare once C&D are asleep.

Carmen reading Joseph Had a Little Overcoat with Fiona.

I was going to say something else but a long week has caught up with me, because I have already forgetten it. Hmm. Well, just for yummies, here is a picture of David from the Hurricane Rita weekend before I sign off. He is a little tired in the picture, but still his sweet, sensitive self:
