7:06 a.m.

we've successfully pulled off the switch without waking anyone up. not casen, not ellie, not landon. well, doc's awake and growling from his box. i think he's ticked that he's up this early. i don't think he understands that he'll be going outside if he doesn't cut it out. it's 40 degrees and wet outside. but i'll do it. i will.

baby c is asleep in his carrier making super sweet baby cooing noises. i'm afraid to touch him.

crystal told me she'd be here at 7. "or, it might be a little bit after. i've never done this before." you know, referring to the feeding, packing up and getting two children out the door and to my house by 7 in the morning.

she knocked on the door -- looking stunning, i might add -- at 7:01. sheesh.
