Jason's commute gets him home around 7 or so, giving him limited time with the girls before bedtime. he comes home, takes Anna for a ride in the jeep, gives her a bath, and tucks her in, while i feed Madeline. then, i go for a run. this is when the problem usually starts. Maddie, a usually very happy baby, gets grumpy this time of night especially when she doesn't have her mom. but i would rather not be her fat mom, so running i go. and she cries basically the entire time i'm gone. (in fact the other night, she cried so hard she woke up Anna and i came running up the street to see a shadow of Jason standing on the curb holding 2 screaming babies. don't tell him, but i thought it was hysterical.) i think Maddie's crying secretly hurts Jason's feelings since Anna was such a daddy's girl at this age. maybe Maddie sensed her father's secret pain, because now i come home to this:

Very cute! And that line in the middle of your post made me laugh out loud. :-)
I love it - she looks exactly like Jason in this picture.
