#18. We Sleep, Therefore We Are

In Bangkok, run at your own risk!! When total cloudy conditions turn into partly cloudy (so, a little sun!!) five minutes into a run in Bangkok, an early afternoon jog to Lumphini Park and back turns from a tolerable trot into a run/walk bust.  I was the lone soul running this afternoon and now it is perfectly clear (a condition I can't fathom running in here) why bicycles are only allowed from 10:00-15:00 so the pathways are clear for everyone in Bangkok to run in the late afternoon/evening (cooler) temperatures.  Wow, I am still sweating.

This was how I left room 2505 this morning while heading to breakfast,

Before...funny how they 'sneak' into the bed in the morning

and this was the scene on my return.

After...one tired trio

I'm not sure (and I actually am sure which one it is) if it's due to our busy week of business (yesterday we traveled to the US Embassy for DNA tests and head back tomorrow for citizenship/passport stuff), or if it's Clare's sudden nightly struggles from 1-4AM (we are hoping this works in our favor when we come home to CDT), I think it's safe to say we earned a sleepy morning.

I decided to photobomb the 'party'

Changing sleep patterns have definitely caused some difficulties for us.  Chris seems more affected than me (as the photos of him wearing a bath robe in bed suggest), despite my history of insomnia and sleep trouble.  It's amazing how caring for newborns can drain the brain.  Last night, out of the blue, I came to the realization that Chris and I completely failed to acknowledge our 5-year anniversary (which we base off the day we met...July 26, 2009) last weekend, despite the fact it was Saturday and we were even out to dinner.

Given our latest woezzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I think the blog will take a little kNAPp today, get some zzzzs and rest up to share our progress with the US Embassy and exit process later this week.  Fear not, I will post some sleepy photozzzz below.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em

Here's 'Good Clare'...just wait til 1AM!

Laid back Luke...our round the clock sleeper

Clare and Luke catching zzzs in their new sleep cocoons delivered from an anonymous sender...THANK YOU!

Swaddled or not (and they were totally swaddled and squirmed their way out)...

...all Knapp-Heald children must strike 'The Thinker' pose while sleeping
