Grey Days

It hasn't been fantastic around here. It's been very dark and wet. I recently mentioned the little time Alex have together.... well, that time has become non existent (especially for Marlowe). 14 to 16 hour work days (with no days off) leaves very little time (read: none at all)---- for anything. I've been trying to fill that gap again for Marlowe, she senses the feelings in the air.... so easily affected by every mood and emotion. The days seem longer, but lately, less gets done. She's got a mouth full of teeth, but there are still more trying to push through. Between the teething screams, there is: little play, little sleep, little accomplished, and a lot of nursing. I know it's only a matter of time before things get better. Soon enough there will be: more time, sun, and no more teething (at least for a while). I'm looking forward to those days. Until then, I am filling the days with as many: snuggles, walks (weather permitting), and play as I can.

At this very moment: windows open, (fallen) photos moved, and a miserable exhausted baby asleep on the bed.

A little video from our walk before the rain (one of three walks that day). 

Marlowe meeting squirrels for the first time:

(yes, the video was cut short. Marlowe wanted to get a little too close to the squirrel. The mama bear in me did not approve. )

On the upside: The fact that I can have the AC off, even for a few hours (with the humidity), is AMAZING. Also? On our PJ walk the other day^^ I was able to throw a long sleeve shirt on Marlowe. Cooler weather is coming!

And when I write "grey", I mean REALLY GREY. Our midday light became THIS at noon today.
