On the Vacay

Tooth #9 seems to be migrating to make its grand entrance into Anna's mouth, since she had us up in the night and up early with that lovely UNNNNNNNNNGH sound which persists until you haul yourself out of bed and downstairs, ceases when you are present, and resumes upon your attempting to leave her room and/or your head touching your pillow. She also has me singing everyone's favorite hymn, O Thou Fount of Grody Snotness. Who wants to bet when diaper rash adds to the fun?

Given that this kickoff to the day finds me just having finished her hair at just before lunchtime, it seems like a good time to reflect on our vacation. Was that just days ago?
