rock-a-bye baby

we briefly doubled our population. sort of. not sure if you could count a 12 pound smiling, crying, sleeping, eating machine named lilly as actually doubling one of us but what she lacks for in size and creativity she makes up for by grabbing the undivided attention of just about everyone that walks through our door. beck migrated to the basement and our brother, adam, and his little family set up camp in her bedroom. they moved out last night but didn't go very far. their apartment is next door, literally on the other side of the fence. this may be a stretch but i think they were excited to get their own place. i think beck is happy to reclaim her room again, although lamenting the fact that she still lacks a "real bed" and maybe a little sad to lose the washer and dryer as roommates. i was sad this morning when i realized i couldn't shuffle over to the next room and give my niece a kiss. i'll have to pole-vault over the fence. now, where did i store my track and field equipment?
