Peter spent his Spring break taking care of me. He was so sweet staying late in the mornings to let me sleep since that was the hardest time of day for me. He would come home, cook dinner if I hadn&#8217;t been able to, feed the boys, clean up, bathe them, and put them to bed every night&#8230;before dropping into bed himself. Thank you, Peter, for your sweet service to your family.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the random photos from our month so far:<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8859ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Letting me sleep in, Peter got the boys their breakfasts.\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8859ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Letting me sleep in, Peter got the boys their breakfasts.\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8861ps-1.jpg\" title=\" And with the camera out, the funny faces came out too!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8861ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" And with the camera out, the funny faces came out too!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8862ps-1.jpg\" title=\" little brother like big brother\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8862ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" little brother like big brother\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8863ps-1.jpg\" title=\" silly boys\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8863ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" silly boys\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8873ps-1.jpg\" title=\" the house exploded every day while I was sick\u2026\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8873ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" the house exploded every day while I was sick\u2026\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8874ps-1.jpg\" title=\" a happy mess!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8874ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" a happy mess!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8880ps-1.jpg\" title=\" \u201ccheese!\u201d\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8880ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" \u201ccheese!\u201d\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8881ps-1.jpg\" title=\" no, I did not teach my children to say that for a camera. they must have picked it up somewhere\u2026?\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8881ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" no, I did not teach my children to say that for a camera. they must have picked it up somewhere\u2026?\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[aprilsofar]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_8884ps-1.jpg\" title=\" I like the light on this one.
