It's been a very long and tiring two weeks at the office. A lot of overtime and weekend work until the early mornings. As hard as it is to work normal days and take care of two boys (three if you count Kwang 
Fortunately, the monstrous application we released went well and I'm thankful for the people I work with. But I'm mostly thankful for Kwang who had no problem taking care of both Jude and Eli last weekend by himself and without complaint. He even had friends over for a poker night. My co-workers think he's quite a stud. I'm writing this because I know he'll hate it, but really, I don't know many guys who could handle such a weekend as effortlessly as he did. As a treat for me, Eli got to spend some time at my office. My director kept staring at him wondering how such a delicious profusion of chub could possibly be my offspring. And at 8pm each night, I would put Jude's goodnight call on speaker phone for all my teammates to hear. Yes, yes, I'm one of THOSE annoying co-workers.
Is "uh-oh" an actual word? Because if it is, Eli can say his first word! I was just doing it the other week to get a smile from him, but to my surprise he repeated me and later used it in context. It was very cute. Well, what do you know. I just looked it up in Merriam-Webster and it is a word!
Although Jude enjoys his trains, he has never loved them like he has his Cars. I love watching him play with his growing collection while reenacting scenes from the movie. It puts him in a happy place.
Today was "country western day" at Jude's school. He had a blast digging for gold, getting his face painted, and riding a pony. 
And despite this project at work, what may have stressed me out just as much was that Tuesday was Jude's school picture day. If you've been following my Chronicles of Crazy Hair, you can easily imagine the mop I had to tame early Tuesday AM. I doubt it will be his best picture but I hope he is able to laugh about it later. It may almost look as nice as my third grade picture where my eyes are super puffy from crying because my mom made me wear a skirt.

funny how jude has such crazy hair 'cuz it looks so tame in your profile pic. :) you must have used uber amounts of gel! ;)
hahahaa, i was in the fourth grade when my mom gave me my first and only spanking... b/c i would not put on a skirt! my entire family was in the car waiting to head to a wedding but i refused to wear a skirt (too girly!). suffice to say, i joined my family in the car shortly thereafter, in a skirt, bawling my eyes out. =) dang, i use to be a brat now that i think about it! =P
p.s. can i borrow eli and take him to my office?? or better yet, can you just bring him over to my house? :)
Eli's "uh oh" is too cute!! Glad your application release was good
I'm sure Jude's hair on picture day was better than helmet hair. You gotta give him credit for all that body. I could use some ooompf to my limp hairstyle.
