Nick is on call right now, which means by the time he gets home tomorrow he will have worked for thirty hours, likely without any sleep. He returned to work Monday after two-weeks of vacation. We spent the first week in Utah with our families. Highlights included the annual Ashworth Halloween party, shooting handguns at the Lion's Club Range, sleeping in every morning, and lots of cold diet coke. I took pictures, but then left them in Utah, so just imagine that we were having a great time and looked like we stepped out of a Banana Republic catalog. Cause, that's how we usually look.
We came home with a sick baby and a very relaxed dog. The baby had a bit of a meltdown on the plane- hey guy with the C boarding pass sitting next to us- you got an aisle seat- that's worth something, but was it worth this?? You could have chosen a center seat somewhere else. Just saying.
We spent the second week of vacation continuing to sleep in, taking naps, watching a couple of movies, and doing a few local fun things. Most importantly we celebrated my birthday by painting our family room. We started wall prep the night before and continued in the morning after a leisurely breakfast. We had everything ready so as soon as Henry was napping our first coat was going on the wall. It was our first time using Behr's new paint and primer-in-one. Considering we were covering green sponge painting (blech!) it did a fantastic job. The second coat was needed to get rid of visible brush strokes. I no longer walk into our living room finding myself overwhelmed with its hideousness. Instead, the walls are a beautiful light beige that will be a nice backdrop for the things we will put on and in front of the walls. Pictures to come. I'm in a photo rut and haven't taken any pictures I like recently, I'll work on trying harder.
On a side note- I've started a "Bad Picture a Day" blog. Most of the pictures are phone pictures, featuring Henry as the main subject. There is a link on the side of the blog to the most recent pictures.

I couldn't be a doctor because I couldn't go 20 hours without sleep. And to Henry's grandmas and grandaunts, there are no bad pictures. :) Love, Toots
"Cause that's how we usually look." I love it. I may steal that.
