Southern Oregon Trip ~ Unexpected but welcome Family Time

Oh my, the sweet little MONSTER is asleep....finally!  I think she was a little wound up from traveling & just couldn't go to sleep....ALL DAY.  Well, finally at 8:30 she went down & I am having a BEER.  My last nerve went * sizzle frazzle snaaaap * at about 5pm & luckily Topher came home from work early because if he didn't, he probably would have come home to a comatose wife & screaming baby.

Here's a picture of her angelicness yesterday, just as a reminder of what she CAN be like....

Let's shoot for that TOMORROW!

Anyways, I haven't been a very good little blogger lately.  I've been trying to reintegrate into the workforce so we don't wind up in the streets, peddling our arses to pay the mortgage, and I have to say, it ain't easy.  I didn't really ever expect it would be easy, but needless to say, that doesn't make the day to day learning curve any shallower.  At least I didn't wind up with baby poop on my cell phone today...that was a close one!

Here's some snaps on my flickr site to some of the fun we had in Southern Oregon with family this last weekend....Crater Lake & Southern Oregon trip photos .  I took the time to write little snippets on the flickr site, its a little easier & less cumbersome to upload lots of photos, so have fun!  We did.

It was great to see Erene & Chris & spend time with the parents.  We also got to hang out with Chris' mom Asha & Aurora my niece in law whom I adore.  I can't believe she's in sixth grade!  It seems like just the other day she was 3!

Long days and Short years as they say....

Well, wish me luck tomorrow.  & tonight.  Seems like Stells is falling into a new habit of waking up at 3am & every hour on the hour until 8am...no more sleeping through the night for us....guess we can't complain though, we've had it pretty good on that front so far....please come BACK!

And for all those other parents out there, I'm tossing back a pint for you!
