This photo of Kate sitting quietly on Dan's lap while he surfs the Internet elicits two emotions in me: The first is love. I mean, how cute are they, with their eyebrows furrowed in the same way, like they are really concentrating on the article they are reading? But, I will admit, the second emotion is jealousy, because Kate would never ever ever sit that still in my lap while I tried to get something done on the laptop. When I'm holding her, she hits so many keys that she actually activates keyboard shortcuts I never knew existed. The laptop is constantly shutting down or deleting my work or displaying its options in a foreign language because she's hit just the right combination of buttons to force me to stop what I am doing and give her my full attention. But when daddy's home, it's enough for her just to sit in his lap. It's so unfair. And so sweet at the same time.

I notice Dan has his block the baby hold...(and his deep authoritative voice probably helps a little too!) Hi, Kate!

My little Mookie squirms and bats and wiggles when I'm holding her at the laptop, too! She's not coordinated enough, yet, to actually hit anything...she's just reaching out for the shiny stuff. But soon, all too soon, she'll be thwarting all my computer activities and I'll be forced to put away the computer and give her all of my attention instead.
It's a cute picture, though. One to treasure. :o)

I only blog but by the grace of Jackson's naps.
I can't believe you guys are arriving in MS on the 27th! That's the day we leave! Perhaps we can angle for some kind of airport rendezvous?
