Sleeping In


On Saturday morning our children blessed us with a wonderful surprise. Both Eli and Walker slept until almost 8. Now, I know some of you out there without children don't think 8am on a Saturday is late, but for our kids it is. Maybe yours will be different (whatever you have to tell yourself to move forward with family making).

Eli usually wakes between 5:30 and 6:30 to eat and go. But, Saturday he ate, and drifted peacefully back to sleep - miracle #1. Walker rarely sleeps past 7, like I can count on one hand the number of times it has happened. Usually when it does happen we run in his room sure that something is wrong. But, Saturday he woke up happy about 7:50 - miracle #2. One can only hope that they are cluing into this weekend thing and this will continue, yeah right. But, anyway for one glorious Saturday, we got a break from the parent race and did not wake with the sun.

This picture is taken later that morning, far to late for everyone to still be in pajamas, but alas we all were.
