Tuesdays are my Mondays

...for this semester anyhow. Stephen has class ALL day. His carpool departure is 7AM; his evening class ends at 9:45PM. Thankfully, he's able to come home for an hour at supper time. Still, a long day for both of us. So, as I wait for him to come home, too tired to do anything else, I added links to my blog. I've been wanting to do that for a while. It wasn't the priority on my to-do list. Far from it, but I didn't have the energy for my to-do list tonight. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see.

In other news, Joseph had a doctor's appointment today and he weighs 11 pounds. He's outgrowing his newbie baby clothes, so I had confidence he was gaining weight just fine.

Nora LOVES swimming in the pool. Each group of apartment buildings in the complex (we live in the French style buildings) has a shared pool and laundry facilities (yes, I cart my dirty laundry, my quarters, my detergents and softener and two kiddos to do laundry -I'm beginning to think maybe I'll do alright without a gym membership, sanity aside). The pool is almost always empty, so it's like having our own pool. Yesterday, the pool man kicked us out so he could clean it, but we weren't bothered. We just went and had a picnic on the lawn...in 90 degree heat. Okay, so maybe we were miffed. But it didn't take too long and we were back again cooling off. Thankfully, the pool area is surrounded by trees, so there is lots of shade for the kiddos. On a side note, it's more green here than I had expected. We have a number of old, lovely trees around our building. Well, Stephen is home now. So, that's all there is for now.
