Vacationing too long?

You know that you have successfully overtired your child, when you come home and he practically falls asleep at the lunch table. Another sign--when you ask him if he's tired he tries to sign no, but decides instead to suck his thumb instead.

Planes and Trains

The Friendly Hero delights in looking for Planes and Trains. Ever since he rode on an airplane, he can't get enough of them. Here he is pointing them out.
He is a delight!

Six Week Sleeping...

Call me Hopeful. But because The Peaceful Hero slept so much, yea he would fall asleep in the middle of anything we were doing: photo shoots, playing games, getting hugs, and once while his diaper was being changed. I thought that maybe we would not suffer on the sixth week and he'd sleep right through it. But he didn't. I have to say, it wasn't near as bad as it was with the Friendly Hero. I wasn't teaching during the day, so it's loads better. He also got the cold I had last week. We didn't get lots of sleep this week, but we got enough to muddle through. It helps that he's almost 7 weeks old and he's getting better. Sleep does come to us!

Posting

I find myself wanting to post, but not really having much to say. The Friendly Hero is getting over a cold and is getting really excited to travel and see both Grandma Honey's. I'm trying not to go crazy over how much laundry I have to do, or Christmas Cards I need to send out...The Bug Hero is getting ready for finals and the big Entomology Conference, and the Peaceful Hero sleeps through everything--including photo shoots!

We love December!
