And then we had Krispy Kremes
We spent a night in Austin with friends this weekend. As usual, we had a wonderful time catching up with friends, watching the kids play happily (if not quietly) together, and not getting much sleep. Rex, the girls and I shared a room, which worked out just fine.
In spite of all the excitement and a late bedtime, Jamie woke up at 6:45. I convinced her to climb into bed with me and keep her mouth shut. For once she complied. Half an hour later, Katie woke up and then spent the next 15 minutes talking quietly to the skylight.
I brought Katie into the bed with the rest of us. She started fussing when I laid her down, but then I pulled up my shirt and she gave me the same smile her father does when the planets align, he's working from home, the kids nap together and I open for business. She lay on her side with one hand hovering above and one below my boob, as though afraid that touching it would cause it to take flight like a wild creature.
Except for the short night and early morning, it was the most perfect morning I can remember.
