blessed naptime

san francisco

wow, you blink and a year goes by! here it is july again — grey, cool, beautiful — but now there is an extra person in our lives.

nino (ne: roman james) arrived quickly on a sunday night last september and is a massive gorgeous chunk of a boy, with electric blue eyes and a sweet dispostion. the birth was fast and furious, just like you see in the movies — with my water breaking, then rapid-fire contractions, then rushing straight to the ER without being able to drop parker at my brother derek's first. she was with us in the delivery room till derek and heather arrived.

typically, i was still packing at the time even though he was five days past his due date. despite the rush to entry, he's laid back — not to interested in moving around much, content to sit and play with his plastic electric guitar.

dan is away working the 'just for laughs' festival in montreal and i'm holding down the fort with the shorties. parker just rose from her nap to find that the tea party fairy arrived while she slumbered. she loves when that happens...
