wide-eyed nights

Ernie's supposed to be sleeping right now; you know, because apparently newborns sleep a lot?  Well, Ernie's not your typical newborn; most nights he winds down around midnight.  And I guess technically he's not even a newborn anymore.  Wow.  Our little Ernie Boy is already six weeks old.  I am stunned!  I guess it shouldn't surprise me; he's already grown out of all of his newborn clothes (the jammies were the first to go!).  We have been loving these weeks with Ernie.  I can't seem to put him down for the life of me.  I guess it shows too...the house is a complete disaster most days and I haven't really cooked a "meal" for, well, six weeks?!  Oh my, I can't believe it's been that long!  Thank you friends and family for lavishing your love on us by providing meals, encouragement, and extra hands for holding the babe while we get a few things done around here.  Life will eventually get back to a somewhat normal state I assume.  Until then, we are learning how to be parents and do life at the same time...a tricky task!  I will leave you with a few photos taken at the cabin last weekend.  

Good night friends!  And guess what?  Ernie fell asleep at 11:02; we are making progress toward a somewhat decent bedtime :).

Much Love,

Jen
