the other day everyone was so wiped out that long, long naps were taken and the kids stayed up late. it is hard to predict the mood around here lately, but as we puttered around the house until about 9:30 everyone was mellow and there was very little fighting. miles and maya collaborated on a family portrait of maya's obsession the caperton family. i started playing the same few songs on guitar that are all i have learned in 15 years, deb lenert's magnet moon, token white boy's dark, which was one of tedd's favorites, and the little man song. a lot of the time lately miles pushes my buttons, but look at this sensitive little rocker. he strummed along with a cute little self-conscious smile on his face and when i told him dark was one of my friend tedd's favorite songs miles said it was his favorite, too. and there is a picture of tedd, he pointed out, pointing the the mantle. maya tried fairly successfully to play guitar with one arm and tended to her babies. the darkness outside seemed to calm everyone down.
we are getting ready for the insanely huge crowd we invited to miles' birthday. are we really really crazy?? we invited the whole school. and almost all of them are coming. plus our remaining friends with kids. we will probably get a bounce house. please please rain, stay away, cause 60 people in our apartment will not be pretty...

Aww, poor Maya in her cast (although you know me - I think kids are cute when they're a bit handicapped).
And Miles is looking a LOT like his daddy. Watch out!!
The party sounds like a blast - take lots of pictures and Miles should be getting something in the mail soon.
Poor Babies all of you! Dear Jamie, I look at Miles and recognize that look. It reminds me of Emily when she's shooting pretend arrows at her cousin like she's Susan from the Chronicles of Narnia. Fierce with concentration of imagination. Wow, he really will be five soon.
Maya looks just like her Little Momma self. I hope the cast is not too much of a bother for her.
And you growing and stretching beyond regular momdom yourself. Love to all you guys. Beki
