meemer is my hero!

i can't tell you how cool my meemer is. if you haven't heard of the ragnar wasatch back relay, you need to check it out. to get an even better idea, you should read meemer's race report on her blog.

this meant that i was home with the three boys. my first overnight solo effort. it was great. sure the youngest missed mommy, we all did. he obviously missed her most at bedtime. and at 2am. since i don't lactate, he had to settle for cocoa puffs and a cup of (cow) milk. it seemed to work. he slept well after that. well after that and an hour playing with the farm and castle.

seriously, it was a great father-son bonding thing. we are definitely closer. the older boys keep busy enough to not dwell on mom's absence. even so we had a fun "boys night in."

the only real regret? we didn't make it to park city in time to see mom cross the finish line. next year we will be there waiting! hopefully we'll get to cheer her on trailside during one of her legs. i think that would make it more real, and more meaningful for the boys. then they'd better appreciate why i'm so proud of their mom!
