Two months, ten hours, and six words

From diapers to that other subject only a young parent could find engaging: sleep.

Just past Alice's two-month mark, we celebrated a major milestone: Last night Alice slept from 9:30 pm to 7:30 am...and so did Edith. We haven't had cause to complain about Alice's nighttime sleep, which typically has been lasting from about midnight to 5am, with a feeding at 5 that earns us another couple of hours sleep. But the ten-hour night was definitely a step up and was the more wonderful because it was exactly in sync with her sister. Hurrah! Tom and I had forgotten what an evening to ourselves was like.

A Valentine's challenge for our clever friends and families. This afternoon on NPR we listened to a piece in which people were asked to tell the story of a romantic relationship in exactly six words. What would you say?


My offering: We met in Laura's Palm Pilot.

Tom's offering: Love, two kids, degrees...a breeze.

Your turn.
