Early Sunday Morning

Man, I really like this blogging-while-everyone-else-is-asleep thing.  I've had breakfast and coffee, and my wife (do I call her DW now instead of DM? Oh, probably.) and kid #7 are still cozy in bed.

Seventh kid?  Rad.  He's funny and sweet.  We've only had a few hours with him, so I only know these of his virtues.  

But we're also babysitting a dog this weekend -- Copper -- and he is adding a whole new dimension to our little family.  Oh my heavens, I need a dog.  I need one real bad.  I mean, LOOK:

Gah!  That face!  That snout!  Those eyebrows!  Those whiskers!  All stretched out on the bed!  And watching him all snuggled up with DW at night warms the cockles of my heart.

So, back to wedding talk, I guess?  Ceremony was small and lovely.  The photographer said he'll have the pics back soon.  Can't wait, cos we looked AWESOME.  My father fell ill, and was unable to join, but my mother, sister, and niece were there.  DW's family was not present, but her chosen family was.

Our honeymoon was great.  Eleven days alone in the car, and we still like each other.  Like, a LOT.  We make a really good team for traveling (on vacation or down the road of life both included).  We had an unfortunate incident in Las Vegas when a car window was smashed and some of our stuff was stolen.  Boo.  But aside from that, we LOVE Utah (what?) and we LOVE the Redwoods (and not just because of the number of lesbians we encountered there).

Family is stirring.  I must away.  Have a great week!
