Liberation Day!

Okay, it's not November 2nd, but still... ;-)

Max is getting ready for his first day back at daycare today, after a 3-week absence where he stayed home with his new little brother Liam. See Fisherbrothers.info for their new website!

Having heard the daycare lady would be gone this long, I bemoaned my freedom a bit, but it's turned out to be quite all right, although the first week we clearly struggled a bit to get in the pattern.

Now, I think we've got it down. Max has been to art museum with Mom. He's broadened his historical horizons with Dad at the Denver Nature & Science Museum (x2) and we even got a membership. The best part is that we've hit maybe 20% of the DMNS museum, so there's lots to see! My fave is the Space Colony and Martian lander area, lots of cool hands-on stuff.

Anyway, we haven't been "productive" in the bill-paying, house-cleaning, car-fixing, errands sense, but I definitely think we've accomplished a lot. Max has been kept busy, Mom's caught up on sleep (a bit) with the new baby attached, and Dad's had some fun taking pictures with his early Christmas gift, the new digital camera.

Having said all this, of course, I'm excited for the opportunity now to get a few of those errands done... :-)
