"Writer's Blog"

Last night I was lamenting to Warren that I couldn't think of anything interesting to blog about this morning. His big suggestion? "Just blog about having nothing to blog about!". "No, no," I replied, "that's uber lame. No one wants to read about that". "No it's not! You have 'writer's blog'..." he chimed in, "get it? Writer's blog?". WOW. Thanks, Warren.

Moving on...

Yesterday: Had a super-awesome visit with my friend Kirsty. The time went by way too fast, of course, but afterwards I felt refreshed and reassured in all my highs & lows as a new mom. I'm not hormonal or going crazy or in need of medication. I'm simply a normal new mom. Thanks KW!

Kirsty's little guy, Easton, is exactly 8 weeks Rhys' junior. Kirsty enjoys watching Rhys because he is a glimpse into her near future. I enjoy watching Easton because he is a reminder of where Rhys was a very short time ago and how quickly he continues to grow and change.

Here is a shot of Rhys showing Easton the Ins & Outs of his Command Centre (aka Excersaucer), which Easton had never seen before. Both Kirsty & I agree that the angle of this photo does not accurately portray their size difference. Easton is 4 months old, and weighs less that Rhys did at 2 months. Rhys is a lumbering giant in comparison (but this pic doesn't show it very well):


After the quick lesson from Rhys, Easton was raring to go for a spin in the Command Centre. However, without the strong guidance of Commander Cronin, he felt a bit lost:


Poor little man. Guess his mom won't be in a rush to get him one of his own just yet.

Today: The weather is supposed to be really nice, so maybe I'll venture out with Rhys on his sleigh and see where we end up. And maybe another visit with another friend over another hot homemade latte...

Friday, I'm here. Give me something to blog about!

(And Happy Birthday KERI!)

Are you getting the feeling we love you for your lattes? It's like the kids in school who has the latest video game, Everyone wants to hang at their house. ;-)

I, too, am enjoying your daily entries, even when you have writer's blog.

Your writer's blog makes for a good post!! Love the pics of the boys -- both are super cuties. And just think of all the trouble they are going to get in as they grow up.

(Thanks for the b-day shout out.) :)
