The boys playing football every night before dinner.
Looking out the back door and seeing Rachel jump on the tramp in her PJ's.
Maggie teaching Peter how to read sight words.
If you ask the kids to gather for a picture with dad, it happens instantly.
If you ask the kids to gather for a picture with mom, it does not happen so easily.

Lack of sleep
No one is sleeping very well. Rachel wakes up to go to the bathroom a lot, Peter has nightmares, and Maggie sleep walks.
We have not told Maggie the following story, but I thought it was too funny not to share.
Steve was downstairs watching a movie, and around 11:30 heard footsteps upstairs.
He came up, looked around and noticed Maggie in the kitchen.
He watched her open the garbage can, pull down her pajama pants,
and turn to sit down.
It was then he called her name, and she looked over.
She then, nonchalantly, waddled, with pants around her ankles,
through the family room, down the hall and to the bathroom.
And...
She doesn't remember a thing.
So shhhh!
