Just my luck...

Ben was feeling really generous the other day and offered to wake up with Max that following morning, on his day off, so that I could sleep in AS LATE AS I WANT. I wish I could stretch it out all day long but somehow my sleeping in habits have vanished since Max came along. Anyway, what a nice guy. We stayed up a little later than usual watching a movie because hey I get to sleep in right! I think I slept a little more soundly that night because I knew that I didn't have to wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning to make eggs. Like clock work Max started talking away at 5:55am and I woke up and thought to myself 'Ha he's awake and I get to go back to sleep'! I look over at my other sleeping baby and he was SOUND asleep, not even a hint of 'I think I heard the baby'. It was ok, Max was not crying yet so I just rolled over and figured when Max started to cry I would nudge Ben and then he could go get him. I must have fallen back asleep cause I woke up at 7:05 and Ben was still asleep and everything was quiet. Why was everything so quiet? Is Max ok? Did he fall back asleep? Something by the way he never does. I went to go check on him and lo and behold he had FALLEN BACK ASLEEP!! WHAT! On my morning off he falls back asleep! He slept until 8:30...so did Ben..and so did I. It all worked out great but why can't that ever happen to me! Just once!

I think it's a law or something. My kids always sleep in when we have somewhere to be in the morning or when I wake up early. All other mornings, they are up early (but not 6:00 am, thankfully...poor you).

That's so funny! I think it's just that casual dad luck that seems to ride with every dad on the one day, or times when they are home and can help! It's crazy how everyone feels the relaxed mood and just chills out! Can't wait to hang out soon!

Hey guys. THis is Jessie Orme Ford. So I am now living in Akron, OH and I just met Trian Christopher (not sure her maiden name) but she is great buddies with Ben from the mission. She said that Tyler, her and Fulmer(?) are great buddies and that Tyler thinks she's crazy. I just took her family pictures today! THe Mormon world is so small. Anyway, hope everything is well in Florida.
