An Extraordinary, Ordinary Saturday Morning

With two girls, two dogs, and two full-time jobs that can have unusual hours, we are learning that nothing can be taken for granted, particularly a lazy Saturday morning spent together as a family.

We started out the morning with a little breakfast (which after the week of stomach bugs we've had, this in itself is quite an accomplishment). Caroline had some oatmeal, and gradually became more efficient at getting it from the bowl to her mouth.



Lily took a perch on the table to watch the show....and listen to the Fresh Beats on Mama's phone. Which reminds me, I asked my Micro class on Friday if they have heard of The Fresh Beat Band. The response..."No, is that, like, some group from the 80's?"


Thatcher, ever the dignified one, couldn't bare to watch the spectacle.






But Gator kept opportunistically close in the event a little something dropped his way.


When the vacuum came out after the family walk this morning, some eager to lend a hand, while others attempted block out the noise by any means possible.
