No More Night Shift

12 weeks and 2 days old.

Max slept through the night last night. All night. He was asleep by 8pm and didn't wake until after 7am this morning.

I have to confess that I woke with a start at 6:45am frantic! "Sam, did you get up last night? Is he still sleeping?" I ran down the hall and peeked over the crib. Our sweet little boy was sleeping soundly.

Of course I am thrilled at the idea of an uninterrupted night sleep again.  But, part of me is a bit sad that Max doesn't need his mommy [or daddy] anymore in the middle of the night.

The "New" Tuesdays with Aunt Jen

For the past few years, I have devoted Tuesdays to my sis-in-law Kristen and my nieces (Madeline, Abigail, Lauren) and nephew (Gabriel). 

Keeping the tradition alive, I have continued to spend Tuesdays with Kristen and the gang. But, who is the new center of attention...

Max of course!

First Trip to the Pool

Max's first splash in the pool. 

He loved it so much he crashed for a nap afterward!

Happy Father's Day

I have waited years to say this:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY SAM!

You are an amazing man. An amazing father.

We love you,

Jen & Max
