It‘s 9:49 a.m. and all is really not well at all. I take the camera back inside and â€" "Ah Drew, out of the grass, look at you, grass stains from the lawn all over your shoes and socks. And look, now they‘re on my shoes too! C‘mon, everyone in the car now," said Mom. "Here," I said, attempting to come to the rescue, "I‘ll brush the grass off his socks and â€"" No Rick, the grass will smear on his new white socks â€"" "Ooops." It‘s 9:55 a.m. and we are finally in the car. There is an eerie silence, then we look at each other, and burst out laughing. We‘re six minutes from church, with only five minutes to get there. Again, we‘ve fallen victim to Mass confusion. "Looks great, OK, here goes. Oops, Jordan, don‘t turn your head. I‘ll take another. Everyone say cheeeese. No, Drew, you can‘t have a piece of cheese. No, Drew, don‘t cry. OK, here goes. What? The flash went off? Argh. I forgot to change to outside exposure. One more time. Got it! But wait a minute.

It happens like er, clockwork. Notâ€"quiteâ€"two Drew stole the stage Sunday morning, though in his defence I was partially at fault. He, which means all of us, rose at 6:15 Sunday morning, Mother‘s Day, which was not totally unexpected because the previous night we made the transition with him from crib to regulation "bigâ€"boy" bed. He handled the switch well. In my excitement Saturday night, however, I forgot how "big" a boy he isn‘t yet, and neglected to put a diaper on him after his bath. Needless to say, by morning time, it was an awful load for a little guy like him to be carrying around. Happy Mother‘s Day. Uh, Drew, wanna come with Daddy for a few minutes?
