Thanks to Frankenstorm, our Sunday was much less hectic than we thought it would be. Baseball was cancelled. The girls didn't go to Sunday School because of Nutcracker rehearsal. And while we thought that M would have to do her…

There is an embarrassment of riches for the blog tonight. First, N reached an important milestone today – he rolled over all by himself, repeatedly! Here he is about 95% of the way there. After I shot this video, he…
