Tonight was hard. Dean was sad until bedtime, I was communicating well with my husband and Ellie just wanted to spend time with me. As much as I'm an extrovert, I'm an introvert as well and I was longing for silence and my own space and to sit and do my own thing. Well Dean finally passed out, and now I can finally sit with my big little girl and my burnt out husband. These days are nothing like what I'd imagined. They are infinitely harder. And infinitely more wonderful. #mygirl #ellieray

Escape artist. It's supposed to snow this weekend right? The weather needs help with its drinking problem...#siblings #escapeandexplore #deanV #ellieray

Things happen at Grammys house. Things happen. #ellieray #GrammyGrumpysHouse #girlygirl

I asked Blair for studio time to work on some art commissions I have. Apparently he wasn't really paying attention. Because this is Vaseline. All. Over. My. Toddler. All over. "Mama I messy"...yes Ellie, yes you are. #ellieray #ondadswatch #gottapayattention #ohgeez

It's been a long day. So we made a tent in the living room and snuggled together. And Ellie sang twinkle twinkle and Dean was confused and we were giggling and it's amazing. #ellieray #deanV #family #tentfort

She wanted him in her lap today. #ellieray #deanV #lapisfull
