Update (Finally)

Things have been busy around here lately, but it doesn't feel like we have much to show for it in terms of blog postings. The last few weekends have been filled with random yard work, leaf raking, and lots of other relatively uneventful, unbloggable activity. Last weekend was an exception, when we went out to a cabin (which was really a large house) in the Shenandoahs with friends. This has turned into an annual trip, but expanded this year with two more couples and about five more kids (new kids, and some of us continue to multiply). The grand total was around 10 kids all under the age of 5, which certainly resulted in a whirlwind of activity around the 'cabin'.

We had to take the pack n' play that Brennan's been sleeping in (in our room) with us on the trip, so since our return he's graduated to his crib. He's been doing pretty well, still waking up only once a night to eat and go back to sleep. The better news is that without him 10 feet away, it's easier to ignore when he's stirring around 5am. Thankfully he's been content to play by himself for a little while before falling back asleep on his own again. Photos of recent goings-on follow...
