Rough night



this is what the girls looked like today after a wakeful night. notice how the cloth is still stuck in Skye's mouth. there was a moment last night when all four of us were awake. Claire woke up with a stuffy nose and refused to nurse back to sleep and was crying inconsolably. Skye was up saying she was too hot. none of us got a good night's rest. but the girls took a nap in the middle of the day.

other than that, we're doing great! Claire (another difference from Skye) loves that nasal suction bulb thing. Skye used to scream every time i stuck that up her nose when she had a cold. Claire sort of leans in to it and shivers slightly when it sucks out her snot. it's really cute. i think she finds it relieving.

we love the summer in Madison. the days are quite beautiful. lately, Sunday evenings, we've been packing a picnic and heading out to a park on the lake and meeting up with several other families. the kids play on the park, we sit on blankets and enjoy food and company. i'm beginning to understand why no one goes away for the summer here. makes sense to go away for the winter.
