How sweet the weekend is! After pushing through my first big weekend of call last weekend and surviving the week of clinic and surgery, I have arrived at a free weekend. Here is how it went down...

My eyes are super tired right now...burning actually. I can't wait to "sleep in" tomorrow. That really just means to lay around in bed with my smiling boys. I'm embracing a whole new level of sleep deprivation. I don't really mind it. It is sweetened by 3am moments with Joey. He is sleeping like a pro. Only one wake up between 7:00pm and 7:30/8am.
Today we visited my spankin' new niece, Sage. She's just down right beautiful. She seems so tiny, but is actually bigger than Joey was at that age. She has uber long fingers and strong lungs (although she rarely cries). Joey is growing soooooooo big. The past couple of days = drooling rivers. Perhaps his teeth are on the way. Grandpa D. can't wait.
After asking Dan if he has any baby photos around (to compare to Joey), he has opened a pandora's box of mementos. As I type this he is reading old letters to Jim. They sound like 5th grade girls. :)
