Family Alive

Today is starting out really well.  I love it when the week starts off on a good foot!

• Brian’s back after 4 days away for a cycling team training camp.
• We more than survived the time on our own… I think we did great! 
• Josiah was only up once last night.
• He’s happily running around entertaining himself with a brand-new toothbrush.  He’s mostly using it to brush his hair. 
• Analise let me put her hair in braids today, and she looks super cute.  She’s doing handstands and forward rolls on the floor.  (She started gymnastics 2 weeks ago, instead of ballet for this session.)
• I just pulled a batch of these amazing Golden Chocolate Chip Muffins out of the oven.  YUM!  I’m just waiting for Brian’s dad to swing by with another gallon of milk so we can enjoy them later with our friends.
• Analise’s little friend, Jacob, and his mom, Melissa, and baby James are coming over in less than an hour to play.
• I think we’ve all finally shaken the cold we’ve passed around for the last 10 days.

Enjoy these shots of my cuties!
