Quiet time at our house today. And a birthday!

We were all out late last night at a friends' house. So I knew this one would sleep today:


And I hoped this sweet thing would also sleep:


(Because when she sleeps, I can usually sneak in a nap, too.)

This little man was a surprise, though, climbing into bed with Addie and I about halfway through our nap. After lots of wiggles and his too-long nails scratching my back (~ouch!~), a few kisses tossed in for good measure, and a few whispered reminders from me to the tune of "Isaac, please stop wiggling!", he finally slept.

Shirtless, he sleeps. Like his daddy. Which I find so cute.


This girl? Never sleeps. She holds down the fort with a pile of books.



Ah, quiet time. LOVE it.

::In other news, it's my dear friend Amy's birthday today. (Amy, being my best friend in the whole world second only to Mark. That Amy. We've shared so much of life together- since we were middle schoolers!- and I love her so much. Happy Birthday, Ame! And here you have the only two pictures we have of the two of us over the last decade (well, just about).

Here we are, on a rainy walk (and that would be Addie bundled up in my coat):


And here, out for coffee at Starbucks together one night. (Kendra and Lisa? This night was your treat. Thank you again!)
