We’ve been working on getting William into a bedtime ritual lately, and it seems to be working somewhat. He loves his baths - when the last of the water drains out of the tub, he invariably asks me if he can have another bath… Anyway, part of the new routine is that Erin takes William up to bed, and I stay downstairs with Julia, and wait for the “all clear” signal. While I was waiting last night, I started looking for music for the third annual kids’ slideshow. I think we’ll have lots of photographic ammunition, but it gets harder and harder to find appropriate music with each slideshow.

That reminds me - I was supposed to make copies of the rehearsal slideshow for people, and I totally haven’t done that. Whoops.

It’s a little hard to believe that Julia was born five months ago already. She still just a tiny little thing - especially compared to her brother, who will soon be carrying blondes up the side of the Empire State building if he keeps up his pace. I think we need to post more pictures on the kids site.
