So who was it that slept through a 4.5 earth quake Friday morning the 30th of Jan. at 5:25am, and still didn't know about it until hours later when a certain concerned Father, living over a thousand miles away, called to inquire about them. Let me give you a hint, I'm pretty sure that as a little girl she used to laugh at her daddy and say that he could sleep through an earthquake. Look who has the laugh know because he can say his daughter and son-in-law DID sleep through a 4.5 quake. HA HA HA HA



This brings up another question, suggested by Mom, that is beginning to make us wonder; will the two of you wake up when the baby begins to toss and turn or cry. Will you feel it or hear it. I think that this little "quake" demonstration shows that Chalene and Dave need a little help in acquiring the necessary skills to awaken to the slightest sound. Therefore I suggest that the family should start calling them at all times of the night, I think they are OK during the daytime, to help them get in the habit of waking and then going to sleep and then waking again. If Mom and I call just before we go to bed and if Josh calls when he gets up at 5:00am and then Jeremy can call anywhere between, we should help (or drive) the couple into the quick awakenings that is required or deeper in to ignoring the pleasant promptings of their loving family. I'm pretty sure that we could enlist some of their friends in Seattle to go and ring the door bell or just pound on the door at different times of the night, they might find it amusing.

For the rest of us we are still smiling. It makes people wonder what you are thinking or it something has spilled on them or their zipper is down and your just going to smile and not tell them about it. SMILING is great.


Marin really wants to kick those blocks down.

Dad, I love all of the new pictures. Thank you for putting them up! Especially the one of Dave face first on the bed..........why do I think this may happen again sometime soon?
As for waking up, don't worry about us. We'll start practicing, honest! I'll start waking up Dave and Misha for my nighttime bathroom breaks. That should work for now :)
