For those of you who live in areas that use Daylight Savings Time to adjust clocks in an effort to take advantage of longer summer days, you know that this past weekend was when we got back that hour ripped from us in the spring. I'd like to say I used that "extra" hour on something fun, or productive, or both. But really, it took about an hour to reset all our clocks on Sunday afternoon.

*We got the Petite Filet's car back from body shop on Friday!
**Her watch currently needs a new battery.
***Her "smartphone" jumped the gun and we had to reset it manually. My cellphone was set automatically via the cell network, but I had to check it to make sure
We did spend some time Sunday afternoon taking some pictures ...
When I was little, my mom had portraits made of me in a little sailor-type suit. That outfit was lent out and ruined before my sister was able to have her pictures made in the suit (which would have been modified into a dress). This is the Riblet in a different suit, but it's what has become an obligatory image. We never did get the Cutlet into one for photos, but I think these will make up for it (at least a bit). Not sure why my mom loves little sailor suits so much. Got to admit they make cute photos.
HAHAHA! My family all had the sailor-suit pictures, too! Weird . . .
And though I love getting that hour back in which to change the clocks and the battery in the smoke detector (!), I will seriously miss the sunlight in the afternoon/evening . . . I'd rather have the daylight at the end of the day when I can maybe enjoy it a little!
Oh. My. Gosh. What a fantastic tradition to carry on. He is the cutest sailor I have ever laid eyes on!
oh my goodness, that's the cutest baby EVER.
