The next level

This month feels like the next level in a videogame: stuff's whizzing by too fast for my reaction times. (Life doesn't always wait till you've mastered one level before you move up to the next.) So, the pool has turned green (again) for lack of chlorine, the grass is brown from lack of nutrients, my eyes are red from lack of sleep, the car's "maintenance required" light has stopped flashing orange, ... and the to-do list just keeps getting longer.

Luckily there's little Timo (now almost 8 weeks old!) to blame it all on.

Not much of a story

Oh yeah: "what happened?" you ask [about yesterday's post]. The story is boring: he was bouncing around on a bed and hit a bookcase. At the moment he looked like a prize fighter, with blood streaming down his left cheek.I didn't think to take THAT picture; sorry.

Both blood and tears stopped flowing within 5 minutes; but it was decided that an ER visit would be wise. So, for a couple of glorious hours, this middle child had his father's exclusive attention (and tasted several 100-yr shelf-life treats from the vending machines in the ER waiting area).

Diesel keeps us in stitches

Diesel's 6 stitches didn't bother him for long... That eyebrow turned bright colors by week's end though.



...And he keeps on truckin'...
