sunrays

i am very engrossed in the girl with the dragon tattoo book.  the kindle makes it sooooo easy to read on the elliptical. and i NEVER LOSE MY PLACE.

my poor little running girl. i fear that she is going to get very sad over the next 2 month when my running routes are covered with ice and snow (the snow removal on sidewalks up here is not good).

liam is in the 5:30 wake up phase. i remember when aiden went through this phase; however, it was much better b/c i think it was the summer and ben was more help. and i did not have a toddler.

liam is also anti-sleeping in his crib during the night.  i also remember this phase with aiden.

as i’ve said, one of the best things about a second child is knowing that things pass. and liam will sleep for 12 hours/night in his crib at some point.

also. i must admit that i like having my child near. he is cute. and feeling his little hand wrapped around my finger as we drift to sleep is awesome.

there is a lot of snow outside.

i need wednesday’s paper; however, i think it is buried under 6+ inches of snow.

ben’s fam has made the plans for a return vacation to the outer banks this summer. ben and i got to pick out a couple houses to choose from. there are a million houses there. we were fairly picky and still there were a lot of choices. ben’s parents choose the final house. it is nice. it is going to be a very nice vacation. i dream of laying in the sun as i look out at the snow covering.  though what i really dream of is those two vacations pre-baby where all i really did was lay in the sun, read, and eat really good food. i did not know how good i had it. though that is always how it goes, huh.
