Week Off

I am taking my first full week off since the kids were born, so far (for me) it has been great. The weather has been amazing and it has been great to spend time with the family.

I finally got around to putting together a little video of our more recent video clips. As the player on this site is totally lame, I have posted it on youtube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=dlEk4zep3zg) - check it out.

About three weeks ago we finally got both kids to sleep through the night, so that has been great. Unfortunately (or fortunately) they are getting up at 6am, which honestly for me is great, as I can spend a couple of hours with them in the morning. They have not figured out weekends yet, but they are getting there.

Owen is now 'cruising', at least I have seen him to this once and he is all about standing now. Ava is still not crawling, she tries (somewhat half-heartedly) and then collapses on her belly. She is really into turning the pages of the books and even though they are both VERY vocal, she is more so than Owen.

The midweek update on my week off is:
Ava has had a fever all week (which is bad)
Tracy wrenched her neck again (which is also bad)
The phone, cable and internet were all out this morning (which is bad)
The new nanny had to go to court today (this can not be good)

I got one of my tasks done (which for me is OK)
The sun is out (which is great)
The Tour de France is on (which is great)
I have been able to run twice without my knee hurting (which is super wonderful)

That is all for now

Here are a couple of funny pictures (too boot).
