Day 331, Year 8: Happy Birthday, Heather!
Date: Monday, September 30, 2013
Weather: Mostly Sunny Day with Daytime Temp in the Mid-60’s F
Location: Eel Pond, Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Happy birthday to our daughter Heather. It was a bit of a crazy day for her, but then when you have three little boys, most days are a bit crazy. She was up most of the night with Ollie who has another cold, so she got very little sleep. And now she has the cold as well. We can only hope that Ollie will be able to sleep a bit better tonight to give Heather a break. Ollie will not be able to go to daycare tomorrow, so we will go to take care of him. Heather has to drive to WGBH in Boston to record a television piece that she is now doing weekly and which airs on Friday evenings. I know we all lived through those years when babies are sick and jobs still demand your presence—but it is NOT easy. So hang in there, Heather. In another couple of years, Ollie will be three-and-a-half and life will be bit easier.
