Holding Down the Fort

While Mommy and Ethan were off galavanting in Manhattan this past weekend, Daddy and Adam were keeping things together on the homefront. I will happily concede that I got the better end of that bargain, but I think the boys did alright for themselves too. So as not to be completely bored with dear old dad, Adam invited cousin Brian over for a slumber party on Friday night, followed by a playdate on Saturday.
From what I hear, Saturday brought a mildly successful beach trip followed by a very unsuccessful nap attempt. When I talked to Ben on Saturday night he sounded exhausted and appreciative (always a side benefit of leaving men alone with their children). It seems Sunday went much better, probably because Ben returned to his wheelhouse - following pajama-clad wee ones around with camera. At least Adam had cute jammies* on and Ben got some fabulous shots of our little monkey.

* Ben would like to clarify that only pajama top was left on but that pajama bottoms were swapped for shorts.
"Up please!"
(The above photo looks so much like Ethan to me.)
"Don't bother me while I'm driving!"
Happy as can be to spend the weekend with Daddy

I was so excited to see my little munchkin and his dad on Sunday night, but I honestly don't think Adam even missed me. At least Ben did. And I take that as a sign that Adam had a perfect weekend with Dad and didn't have time or cause to worry where his mom and brother had gone. Ben returns from a few days in DC tonight (he left early Monday morning so our home stays just barely overlapped). I'm eager for our family to reunite, and look forward to spending a whole week together at the lake beginning Saturday! Until we return...

Adam IS looking more and more like Ethan. You shouldn't have spilled the beans on Ben -- I wouldn't have known that was a pj top. Nice work, boys!

Agreed - that pajama top could easily have been a shirt. :-) Looks like it was a fun weekend for the entire Stockwell family! Enjoy your vacation!!!!
