A peek into my life, uncut
Tonight we decided to get Addison a much-needed new crib. We had intended to co-sleep but she had other plans. I think six months sharing a bed with a half dozen other babies was all the co-sleeping she could handle. She is a restless and generally pissed-off sleeper even in her crib but she’s much crankier in our bed.
So we bought a crib and she helped us assemble.
You get the bad with the good. First the outtakes 
Addison had just pulled herself up on the crib while we were working on it and I wanted to get video. So I pulled out the camera, fired it up and then went to sit and get comfy. But I sat on a…ahem…boom-box. And then I lost my balance because it, well, HURT! I took the entire crib down with me but the important thing is I did NOT stop taping
and then later, after I regained my composure:
And onto my now-tardy gratefulness for yesterday and today (I’ll be brief):
- Yesterday I secured press passes for this awesome exhibit that is strolling through town. I really wanted to go but the price of tickets? GASP!!!!!! So now I can go. I think I’m doing the wildly unpopular thing and taking Noah. Yes he’s only almost 5. And no, I do not think my 9 year old can handle it and I question the ability of my 12 year old to handle it either. But every kid is cut from a different cloth. It just so happens Noah is, as he told me today, “Like totally Body-Addicted”. He also has some blatantly honest views about death and corpses. He’s ready. Maybe more ready than I am. So yay for Press Passes.
- Today Teegan is HEALTHY! He has had the stomach flu for two days straight. I think it may be the only time in his 9 years of life he has ever had the stomach flu. It wasn’t fun for him. He was miserable. I am so thankful that he finally feels better and has his energy and his appetite back. And also thankful that, so far, no one else seems to be getting sick!

omg, what a precious insight into your life with Addy! She is absolutely adorable!!!! Did you use your digital camera to record? I wanna do that with my baby!
That exhibit sounds really cool! Body Worlds was down here for a while and I was planning on going but Miles was too high needs and we ended up missing it. Have fun!
Sooo glad to hear that Teegan is feeling better! My fingers are still crossed for you that no one else gets it:)
Love and miss you:)
