Last night after trudging up the stairs I glanced towards Emily’s door and saw her fingers, sticking out, curled up at the bottom. We had heard her moving around about an hour and a half after we put her to bed, but there were no noises besides the creaking floor for a couple of minutes….

Routine Chart
This morning when I rolled out of bed I was soooo tired. I figured after my walk I would feel more energized, but that was just not the case. If I had my way, I would have put on my flannel pajama pants, wrapped up in my favorite patchwork quilt, and watched a chick flick…

Andrew and Emily made oatmeal bars together; Emily liked the smashing and the sprinkling involved. I love watching the two of them working on the various projects, baking included. Emily slept later than we expected so…
