It's been weeks since all five members of our family have shared the same space. Between illness and snow days, it feels like we've been working split shifts.
We declared today a family day. Which is good, because it started at 5:30am when Ellery awoke, and it was clear it was going to take both of us from the get-go. Neko and Shep followed soon after, and we found ourselves at the doorstep of Bob Evans when they opened at 7am. Then off to the zoo, and back at home for quiet time by noon.
When I reviewed all these photos I realized all the kids look dark and brooding. I swear, there were a lot of smiles today, too. But, sheesh, when your day starts at 5:30am, we're all bound to look a bit ragged.
