Hi everyone, just a little note to mark the momentous occasion of BOTH CHILDREN NAPPING AT THE SAME TIME.  I also wanted to let all friends and family know for the record that we are tremendously grateful for all of the generous meals, gifts, favors, etc. that you all have done/given over the past few months.  My first order of business during the peaceful nap (aside from going to the bathroom for the first time since this morning) was to bang out a few thank you notes.  If I can do a few each day, I may actually finish them before Audrey turns 1.  I am still kind of slow with the writing (not sure why, but I still feel the soreness in my elbow when I write, and my penmanship is dreadfully uncontrolled).  There are many notes to write because we are blessed to know so many incredibly loving and generous people.

Now I am sure I should go nap myself, since the kids are napping, but because the adult part of my brain is starving, I shall knit and talk on the phone or something.

BTW, turning 33 wasn't so bad.  It feels a lot like 32, but with cake and a balloon and some gift certificates!
