    Good mornings

    Weekend mornings might be my favorite time of the week. Today being a bonus weekend today makes it that much sweeter. Here's our routine:

    Waking up.

    1. Piper wakes up. Some mornings she gives an all-out cry. Sometimes she just stands up and says "Daddy-Daddy-Daddy" or "Mama-Daddy-Mama-Daddy-Mama-Daddy."

    2. Alex wakes up to the sound of his little girl calling for him. (Or crying.)

    3. Alex goes to fetch Piper.

    4. Marsha takes advantage of the open bedroom door. She leaps onto the bed. If the ting-a-ling of her bell doesn't wake me up, her whiskers tickling my face certainly will.

    5. Alex and Piper come back to the bedroom. Piper says, "Mama!" and dives for me.

    6. Alex turns on PBS.

    7. We cuddle and watch a little "Clifford" or "Bearnstain Bears," depending on how late we slept.

    8. After the show, or whenever Piper is done with the show, we head downstairs for breakfast.

    It's the perfect way to start the day.
