A Heavy Load

Only three weeks to go. It's weird, but school seems to be lasting a long time. Not much has been going on. We had a nice weekend. There was a yard sale at school, so we picked up a couple of things. The best was a backpack that we can use for Sophia. We tried it out yesterday, okay, not we, Joe tried it out yesterday. We climbed up the mountain. Sophia had a sweet ride, hanging out on dad's back, pushing on his head, and sipping her milk. Lucky girl. Joe's legs are a bit sore from that extra 25 pounds on his back. Leia even joined us for the hike. It was really nice to be up in the mountains. Everything's so green from the rain and you get a different view of the city. Maybe next weekend, we'll explore even further and maybe pack a lunch.

We are ready for some different entertainment, so we're excited that now we can go hiking. Yesterday we made cupcakes for fun. We've been on a real Betty Crocker baking kick. Hopefully, the cupcakes will brighten the teachers day when they are stuck in meetings after school. We decided that leisure time just isn't the same when you have a baby. Even Joe says that PlayStation isn't the same. Gasp. Can you believe it's come to that?

So, we are ready to finish the year, pack up our apartment, and get on that long flight. Will we make it these last few weeks?
