2006 Begins

The holidays sort of took a back seat to just getting settled into a routine with Charlotte. We can't believe she is almost seven weeks old already! Charlotte is quite the little eater. She weighed 11 lbs. at her 4 week checkup.

Audrey is adjusting very well. She's very sweet to Charlotte. When Charlotte cries Audrey will give her a pacifier or a blanket or even Vegas (Audrey's prize possession). Once in a while Audrey throws toys at Charlotte, but it doesn't seem aggressive. She just doesn't know better. She's learning.

I'm settled into the routine of going to work again, now. I've been commuting by bike (it's only 6 miles). Of course I chose a period to start cycling to work when Seattle is threatening to break a record for most consecutive days of rain (25 as of today, 33 is the record and there is rain in the forecast as far as we can see). But I have the gear for it and enjoy the challenge. Please remember when you pass cyclists on the road: they have the same right to the road that you do and they just might be somebody's father and husband. Please pass us safely.

Carol is enjoying being the mother of two. It's a challenge, but she's up to it. She's even dealing with the sleep deprivation amazingly well.
