Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day...

I always feel a bit odd since my own Mother is gone but I have all my wonderful little and not so little people.
Here are two of them... Em is a petite girl who will be thirteen at the end of this month... and baby Z is a week shy of 7 months. I love how the perspective makes Z look as big as his big sister.

I'm supposed to be working on a bunch of homework... my older sister is in the midst of an unexpected move that will leave her living with my dad... and that led to a flurry of phone calls all evening. I still need to call my eldest sister and see how life is treating her. There's dishes and laundry waiting for me... but here I am playing with photos.

We've taking baby pic's with Z's big monkey since he was a month or so old. An idea I'd never heard of when the other munchkins were little - guess I'm slow or something.. but anyway here's May's version.
Guess I'll head back to the things I'm supposed to be doing... at least until baby Z's night feeding. He's still not sleeping through the night or anything. (pst... secret - as much as I'd like a single night's sleep from dusk to dawn... I love the time I get with him since I miss the hours I spend at work when he is home with his Daddy. He can give up the really early feeding between 5 and 6 though - any time now).

EDIT here for clarification since BabyZ's dad just laughed at me; the little man gets up two or three times every night. I'm a night person so I don't mind anything before say 4 am. Early 'morning' though I'd rather be sleeping myself. I absolutely think 5 am is sleeping time.
