Book

Will's first sign is "book". It's very cute.
He figured it out about 36 hours ago and has already put it to good use.
He uses it when he wants his first bedtime story, his second, third...and cries signing "book" when I put him in bed.
It was a good procrastination tool that first night. I'm sure he'll come up with more.

Chug-a-lug-a

Dear William,

I will give you your milk back. There's no need to chug and leave yourself short of breath.
Promise.

And for those of you who sent messages to my gmail account, oops! Haven't checked that in ages.

Dear Henry,

You, handsome man, are quite the heartbreaker! It was nice to get your Valentine pic in April:)

And we're back

Busy, busy, busy...

Just back from Jordan, already planning for the summer spent in the states. Can't wait.

Jordan is fantastic and of all the places we've visited, it's the one I would most recommend. They pack many interesting sites into a very small country.

Will get back to this more often. Much shorter, but more often.

They'll take your "10 miles, uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes" and raise you 110 degrees in the desert in a dress.

I can't make this stuff up.

The item with the photo was from the "Question of Culture" section of the local paper. I think he pretty much nails the mindset. The receipt is from the ag souk where you go to buy cheap plants, pots, etc. Do you think he ment Clematis?

Mmmm, bacon

The jet lag has been horrible for both Will and me. Made worse, I believe, because we pulled it together pretty well when we reached the states. I thought we'd be alright when we got back to Doha. Ha!

He's been up every night and it's only getting worse. It's 6:43am on Saturday right now and I've slept a total of 2 hours. I can't sleep anymore, but Will's finally out. He slept from about 10pm to 1am and didn't go back down until 5 in the A.M.

I do kinda like my new early morning hours though. Yesterday I made pancakes and some bacon smuggled in from Norway for breakfast and finished grocery shopping by 9am. Of course by 10am I thought I might die from fatigue, but the bacon almost made it worth it.
