In a (New) World of My Own

Angela knocked Garrett’s bellybutton off last night. :[

For sure. Here’s Garrett fast asleep on the bed.

This is Mariah three days before delivering…and I cut her feet off. Inexcusable.

I’m raising the children of the corn: Blue-eyes, blond-haired monsters who have this wicked power to melt my heart. This photo is, I guess, Garrett’s first posed portrait, although it isn’t the heart-warming and cutsey photo of a sleeping baby that photographers and parents have come to expect. Garrett is curious. His eyes jerk open, his head pops up and he stares at me, at his mum, at Caira, and at anyone else nearby. His head twitches one way and then another as he considers all the angles.

Icy blue eyes boring into your soul.

Caira has never been, and never will be a morning person.

Caira loves swings. Period. No swing is too high. No park is too far to trek to.

Caira doing what Caira does best – totally ignoring any direction and running around like a two-legged cheetah.

This post is dedicated to Caira, who has been necessarily ignored by her parents in the past few days – we’ve been off at the hospital with Garrett. If you’re reading this in oh, 2020, we’re sorry. We both love you very much, but the last few days have been hectic and distracting. If all goes to plan we’ll wing you away to a buffet of your choice in the morning for some shameless spoiling.
