Seattle

Dear Reed and Hunter,

Just boarded another redeye at the end of another biz trip. A few days away from my beautiful boys and the great happiness they bring me.

If all goes well, in 12 hours I will see you both again.

Trying to bring an end to these absences as I am missing what is surely the best and happiest time I will ever have.

Looking forward to my two-boy hug.

Tick Bite Update

This bite is not evolving like a Lyme's bite would and Hunter (like Reed yesterday) now has a fever so it looks as if this was a false alarm.

Tick Bite?

Is this this a bite from a tick carrying Lyme's Disease? Noticed bite on Reed's arm Friday and it has blossomed since. We never saw what bit him. Kind of looks like the bite I rec'd before I was diagnosed with Lyme's...but I don't think I took any photos. This isn't a classical presentation of the bulls-eye sign but mine wasn't either. Reed's fever was up to 103˚F today...I had a fever after the bite and developed a bizarre rash on one side of my face. 

Reed will go to the Dr. tomorrow...but it takes a couple of weeks to get the antibodies they test for...more to come. I am not alarmed, BTW, we caught it early and Reed will be fine.

Sleeping in Their Own Beds Again

I am lucky, no, we are lucky to have as thoughtful and as driven a Mom and wife as Mechelle.

The boys are sleeping alone in their own beds again. If I was managing this facet of their lives we'd be sharing beds for another couple of years. Mechelle made it happen in a week. Amazing.

I will miss those little arms hugging me in the night and the sounds of little chests breathing. I won't however, miss the unexpected kicks in the junk.

Kids' Circus

The pre-school (makes more sense than pre-owned, eh?) Reed goes to held a kids' circus. Reed dressed up as a clown and delivered his radiant S-E grin when he came out and saw Mom, Dad, Hunter, Grandma Helen and Grandpa JD. Really cute and happy occasion! Hunter got into the spirit and grabbed a couple of hats.

Sepia in their Senescence

Last weekend Hunter and Reed fell asleep at the same time which is a little unusual. I find myself amazed by their beauty and I am happy I have the talent to capture some small part of it with photography. Love you guys.
