Life Lesson No. 1

Dear Sam and Noah,

Life lessson no. 1 - The nighttime is for sleeping. Not for playing, not for screaming and certainly not for sleeping only on mommy and daddy in a big bed. It's ok to eat a couple of times during the night but you must then go back to sleep in order to continue your little lives in good health. Otherwise, you are going to be orphans b/c your mom and dad are going to keel over from exhaustion or perhaps see what we can get for you on eBay. When you are in college you can stay up and party all night, 'til then house rules are that you have to sleep!!!

Stay tuned for Life lesson No. 2 - re smelly gas and public places.

Love,
Mom

We took Noah to the surgeon today. His hernia surgery will be Nov 30th. He'll have to stay one night in the hospital because of the anesthesia. The surgery is quite common though and considered minor and he should have very little discomfort.
