Obviously, I didn't take any new pictures today. I have a fantastic reason, and her name is Marj. Also known as Grandma, she is as generous with helping with the girls (I was solo tonight; she was in town) as she is skittish around photo-taking implements. If you've seen those pictures in National Geographic where they get a shot of a demure jungle lemur using high speed flash and motion sensitive cameras, you get an idea of what it takes to capture Marj on film.
Since she was gracious enough to visit tonight while Jen was in class, I chose not to torture her with the camera. Hence...throwback pictures! Why the hell not?!
Another lovely day with the kids. Lily once again gave some serious kisses to Abby. Grandma did some serious duty with dinner time and bath time and bed time. Abby decided to stay up and play another round of Insomnia, so we watched the end of Oklahoma trouncing Syracuse while we rolled a ball back and forth to each other and giggled exhaustingly about the silliness of life.
I have to feel bad for Jen tonight. She missed the girls because she was in class, and upon returning home she was treated to many cute and delightful anecdotes of the girls' hijinks. Sufficiently motivated, she decided to steal upstairs and sneak a look; she made it as far as opening the door a few inches before Lily belted out a cry. Jen decided not to risk a peek for fear of rousting them, which is sad because it's amazingly cathartic to look at the kids while they sleep. Now she has to settle for looking at me. Bad deal.
Although, I have to find it darned amusing that Lily yelled just for her opening the door, like an annoyed teenager. An amusing and scary harbinger of things to come.
Day forty.
Abby's first picture. Our wee little peanut.
