I'm exhausted

I have been looking through the photos and videos we've taken this summer and thinking about all of the things that I want to tell you about Z and what we've been up to. I'm exhausted just thinking about it and just plain exhausted. In the past five weeks, I have been out of town for about three of them and I'm getting ready for the next trip in two weeks. And, now to top it off, we all have a mighty wicked cold. Yes, I am throwing a pity party for myself. I'm going to start posting odds and ends that date back to May, but I hope you might still enjoy them. 

Like this gem: a shot of Zeke during a nap in June. He was napping in our room and must have gotten up but then collapsed back onto bed. It is good for a reliable giggle. It was during a period when I didn't write because it seemed that Zeke would never sleep. But, I will say that we have now reached the best sleeping period in his life. These days he naps for about two hours a day and sleeps for about 11 hours at night. In general, since the beginning of summer, Zeke has fallen into a lot of routines that make life a little easier, and in the past month, he has been such a help, a friend, a joy that I could just gush. But, I promise to try to keep the gushing to a minimum.
