battle worn

I defended my dissertation yesterday. Today I turned a corner in the house and caught Lincoln in this silent pose, which he held for nearly 4 straight minutes without making a single movement save for an occasional peek out of one eye. Exactly how I feel today buddy. Exactly how I feel.

A favorite of late. Zephyr shares a little of her big brother's hat obsession it seems. But of course she prefers to wear his old bowler tipped down over her whole face, with attitude.

Lincoln has adjusted well to being outnumbered by babies. It isn't always easy or fun, but the scope and quality of his coping efforts seem better much of the time than those of his parents.

Case in point: No room on the teeter-totter? No problem. "I'm surfing Mama. I don't want to take a turn."
