last night we took the kids down to the splash pad at Butler Park to play with their cousins. i walked the 4 and a half mile loop at the trail while they played, and then Brian and i threw down a blanket and listened to the symphony play out in front of the Long Center.



it was nice and relaxing as we'd spent most of Sunday afternoon doing curriculum planning. we plan to do a full week of school this week. it seems a little daunting, but i think i'm ready for the challenge.

baby has been constantly on the move. i still can't figure out why i only feel her movements way down low, but never near the top of my uterus. it seems like she never sleeps. at least she's always awake when i am and when i'm trying to go sleep. what a wiggle worm she is!

i scored a great diaper bag at the thrift store over the weekend. it's a sleek black one from the Gap. it looks as if it was hardly used and has a changing pad and bag for dirty diapers. it'll be nice to have something neutral that Brian can carry.
