reason enough to get out of bed



the last week i have been a single parent as jeff was in holland taking classes and having too much fun with friends. it was a hard decision to stay home, but a necessary one. however, i am exhausted, i don't know how some people do it. sienna has been mostly awesome during the day but for over a week she's been waking up at 2 am EVERY MORNING and needing to be held in order to fall back asleep, we are in the process of trying to break this habit but how can you not melt when looking upon her captivating beauty? because she smiles, i can do it.

i've found baby cheeks and chins are immensely motivating on dark winter mornings when comforters beckon. thankfully ethanael sleeps pretty well at night (except for recent distress cries when he scoots into a corner or gets an apendage stuck through the bars).

Hey Lara!!!
I love these pictures of Sienna! I really did love having Jeff around... but it made me miss you more. I can't wait to hang out someday. Thanks for sharing Jeff with Holland. By the way, Sienna called me the other day & said she wanted to move to a place with a windmill...

I so understand a week, or two, or three, of being a "single mom" as husband goes off to be what the Lord beccons. It is not an esay task with one, two, or three kids (I often day care for a friend's 18 month old). Sienna is so brilliant. THanks for your post.
