dinner and sleep

My brother and his family visited last evening.
Justin and Nadine have a 6 month old boy. Pictured next to his cousin, Pascal
looked like he was ready for business school. He's not more than twelve pounds more than she, but that alone is enough to make him appear an age older.These pictures are rare in that they are the first pictures of Pascal and Tua.



True to form, Tua slept through the better part of the evening, waking only once to change positions.





Tonight, Bug and I set up some video conferencing software in the office so that we would be able to post live live feeds of Tua to distant lands, like Illinios This was very successful and we even managed to get some video fed to our family in the Midwest. It was Aunt Hannah's birthday today so Tua got to send her birthday wishes in person.


Bug and I would like to recommend Charlie's Laundry Detergent. Bug was searching for a truly free and clear laundry soap for Tua's delicates and found this product online. It's made in North Carolina and as far as we can tell, it's absence of fragrance is one of a kind. Clothes washed in Charlie's Laundry detergent are about as clean as you can get.

We're all pretty beat here at ShawHouse tonight. It's just before midnight EST and Tua is just finishing third supper. She doesn't seem to mind the repetition in the menu. There are no complaints from her. I can go for 21 days of peanut butter and jam without losing interest or taste for that matter. I guess that's why we learn to speak. At some point, we have to learn to ask for options. Right now we're simply enjoying the silent night.
