Fatherhood

I can only wish that I woke up as energetic on weekends as they do.  On weekdays, I’m actually in a lot better shape – and I am NOT a morning person.  Stacy tends to be one – which is very not appreciated by the pre-coffee version of me – but even she doesn’t have the disturbing level of cheerfulness that the girls can exhibit on Saturday morning.  There’s been more than a few times when my first words of the day to Arwyn are “go back to bed.”

I’m wearing one of my lovely Phoenix shirts, and Stacy has what I’ve dubbed “the sparkly purple shirt.”  The girls – who didn’t have anything to say, but really didn’t want to be left out – are wearing a t-rex constellation shirt for Kia, and a leopard-print kitty on pink for Arwyn.  And what you see here is how it feels to have them around me some mornings.
