sleep and other good things

I do realize that a large theme on this blog of late has been sleep.

And, yet, its a necessary part of life and one that has been hit or miss around here lately (and by "hit" I mean, of course, 3 hours or so).

So, write about sleep I will...for at least another post or two...maybe more, who knows.

This is a different sort of post, though, since it is about getting sleep.  Last night I had a very helpful conversation with a friend about infant sleep.  We tried a few things out and behold, there was a 5 1/2 hour stretch (in the evening going into the night) and a 4 1/2 hour stretch this morning.  And, to top it off Clint was hanging out with our little ladies during that 4 1/2 hour stretch, so there was no reason to have to wake up.  Bliss.

Other good things (non-sleep related) that I am ever so thankful for...
