Is It Really January Already?

So life has been hectic. Here's a quick review: back and forth to Olympia more times than I can count, Phil and Philip both out of school for two weeks, Zak!, visiting Nikki and Morgan, more Zak!, back to Olympia, did I mention that Zak! was here?, oh yeah, and finally being home for more than three days in a row. Whew!

It was great to spend so much time with Zak. It was almost like high school, except with no singing in the car this time. (Alanis Morrisette, Madonna, and the soundtrack to Evita were our standards.) I'm glad that he could enjoy so many of 'baby's first ________ ."

We also had a great time seeing Nikki and the new love in her life, Morgan. He's so adorable. We went out for lunch to a place called "Claim Jumpers" near Nikki's home in Lynnwood. The food was good, but entirely too much of it! The boys were very well behaved, and slept through almost the whole event. It's amazing to see the difference between the boys. I know it was only three months ago that Matthew was that size, but I can barely remember it already.

Anyway.. it looks like things are getting back to normal, well, our 'normal' anyway.
