Children's Museum

Last week Atticus and I went to check out the Denver Children's Museum for a second time. The last time we went was in November, so it was a total different place for Atticus and his friends (four babies all born in January 2007) now that they are walking, er, running. The kids all had a blast, even if they didn't really interact all that much. Atticus was often running off, preferring to explore things by himself rather than playing with others (hmm, not like either of his parents at all, right?). As usual, he is much more social with adults than other kids. He will mostly only play with kids who are as quiet or quieter than he, which is probably only about 5% of children out there.

It was fun to meet a few new faces and to see our friend Tori (part of the 5%) and her mom. I can't believe they are so big already. See here for their last meeting.

Garden

The summer before last, our garden suffered while I was in the first trimester of pregnancy and was too tired to work outside for more than ten minutes at a time. Last year my windows of outdoor time were about the same, as Atticus wouldn't be content playing by himself for very long while I tried to do things in the garden.

This year I think (I hope) will be different. Atticus loves to be outside and has plenty to explore around our yard. He goes nuts for anything to do with water, so I think I can get plenty of gardening time with a kiddie pool set up or maybe even a very slowly dripping hose. Atticus even has a "garden" of his own this year. Ok, really it's just an empty bed for him to dig in, but that alone is a lot of fun for him.

Already we have strawberries growing, as well as tons of stuff sprouting and blossoming. I can't wait to be able to go outside and pick my lunch!

Look, we can write words too!

It's about time that we're able to write more than a sentence to go with the photos that we post over on our other site. So, here's a place for all the details! I'm going to try to do a post here whenever I upload photos, so if you see new pics, check here for some more info, and vice versa.

Someday this will be over on danielandannie.com . This just gives Daniel a little less pressure to get that part of the site up and running.
