  i don’t know how long i’ll last tonight …. which will go first my computer battery or my resolve against the little bugs that are dive bombing my screen in the dark??

  its late and everyone is in bed …. even i am tonight. no post from the chair while chad eats. today was hot – and he & i were hot together so we didn’t stay together as long as we would normally!

  i really just have some pictures to put up tonight … not a whole lot of thoughts or stories or news.

   

   

  the other night, on the 28th, i wanted a chad-is-4-months-old-picture. i’ve learned it usually works best not to over due those sort of things …. isn’t that how pictures go anyway, it ends up being the first or last picture you take that turns out, not the 14th, or 79th in between : )

   

  so we were outside & one by one they started showing up and i am always one for family pictures : ) so …. why not call everyone …. 
  
  or at least try for everyone!

  

  

  
  something about the extra eager hands that want to run up & push the button …. the camera gets a new angle every shot : )

  some chad thoughts:
     ‘hi i’m chad. my mom wants to remember a few things about me right now so here we go …. i’m 4 months old. mom thinks that’s pretty old, daddy reminds her i’m actually still pretty little. she did this thing the other night where she stood on the scale and then she held me too and then she did some math & came up with 15 pounds. it was her unscientific way of recording my well baby weight. dad actually told me tonight i was getting kinda heavy. we have this thing worked out where he holds me just so in his arms & when he does i’m suppose to sit still & quiet and just hang out. i do & i like it.  my brother jack thinks he’s got all sorts of tricks figured out that i like. he calls me ‘ch-calvin’ and we play legos together – i do most of the watching, he does most of the building. i got to be the patient when all the kids played doctor the other night. mom was ready to swoop in and save me til she saw i was smiling and having a good time. i’ve actually held onto a little toy. i laugh when sailor talks to me. i haven’t been dropped or fallen off anything yet – mom says huge score for her! i like baths & watching the tree branches blow in the wind outside. i like my daddy holding me. molly & regan are good company and my brother ben is great at telling me all sorts of interesting facts about life – i think i’ll know exactly how to be 5 when i get there, thanks to benny. most people say i look like ben or maybe jack but they always end with ‘well he sure belongs in the family, doesn’t he!’ mom’s been pretty soft lately cause i’ve been wearing the boys old clothes and that’s what moms do, dad says. in other big news i’m not the youngest person in our family … i’ve got a new cousin! we’ve got our own club, her & i – we call it …. well since mom is typing this out she won’t say, but anyway yeah for amity grace! that’s about it, i still pretty much eat, sleep and now i smile & talk, watch jack play legos and sit outside in my swing. mom still says i’m crazy dreamy – i like mom’
