I just wanted to show this great picture of Daniel on the slide at the playground. He really loved the thrill...I can see him already being a roller coaster fan.

Labor Day Launch
After much intermittent napping our Labor Day came to a close with a great bit of excitement as we watched Adam's rocket explode into the air. This was actually the second attempt to launch the rocket...
See Adam bought some model rocket materials shortly after his birthday. He spent two weekends carefully assembling the rocket with a few ingenious modifications including designing and building a launch pad and control pad.
Once the rocket was ready to launch we set out to an open location to try it out. This first attempt was met with the discovery of incompetent battery voltage. So Adam did some research and discovered he just needed MORE POWER!
Last night we set out to launch her again and this time with higher voltage control. Adam also brought bigger fuel cartridges by accident so the rocket was certainly geared for a big show. This video clip tells the rest...
Unfortunately, we were not able to recover the rocket as we're convinced it must have broken the atmosphere and is now orbiting somewhere in space...at least that's what we'd like to think.
Adam has felt both excitement and loss at the outcome of his first rocket launch. He has already made plans to build another and we will keep you posted as to the next appointment for launch.

Domesticity at its best
Average daily routine:
Wakie, go for swim lesson, come home and run around the apt., walk the pup
Eat some snacks, read some books, take a nap
While Daniel sleeps I....
work, walk the pup, do laundry, clean house, pay bills, maybe find time for a shower....do I sound bitter? I'm not. I feel pretty accomplished and I know my son is content.
When Daniel wakes up we eat some lunch then go outside either swimming, biking, or running errands (also part of my job).
Dinner time is quick once Adam gets home from work, eats, changes, then heads to class (2 days a week). I get Daniel ready for bed and WHEW! I usually clean up some more at this point, or work, or just sit and stare at the wall wondering where the day went.
I'm working on adapting to a new schedule...
