These Things We Do

What shall we use
to fill
the empty
spaces
when
we used to talk?
It used to be that staying awake for 72 hours straight, out in the field, completing 10K overlands, obstacle courses, and other physical training, drained my energy. Now, the same feeling comes when I spend a day and a half getting interviewed and photographed. Oh, and tack on flight delays, missed connection, then more flight delays, and a newborn. I think it I am "getting old". Or I could always point the finger at the SCI. It's gotta be something.
The kids are comfortable heading off to school. Nothing to really point at, but we can drop them off at the curb, and they go into the school on their own. That and their drawings are actually resembling things instead of being a splattering of color.
Keelie treats us well, by sleeping and not fusing too much when she needs to eat. Soon she will be giving us stuff to write about, we can feel it. And the twins still think it is cool to hold her. We'll see how long that lasts.
