Nice Noggin!

Last night was band night, officially the last bastion of my extracurricular activities, now that I'm 4 months into my hockey hiatus. It's getting harder and harder to play, since my sax is getting a little farther away from my body every week. The irony is that I'm enjoying making music more than I have in a long time. Since before I started playing hockey, now that I think of it.

Anyway, a band board meeting, a full rehearsal and a shorter sax quintet rehearsal added up to me getting home around 10:15 last night, completely exhausted. I laid down in bed the instant I got home and was treated to a multitude of kicks and faketractions.

That's all normal, I'm used to being kicked at night. But apparently last night, Murrita was feeling a bit cramped so she must have pushed down with her arms, and in turn pushed her little noggin straight out from my belly. The outline of her head was unmistakeable and man, IT HURT!

But Andrea got to see that unmistakeable outline, and to pat our daughter on the head.
