Library

J and I got our public library cards today. This library is at least 2x the size of the library we went to in Texas, which is kind of funny since it's a smaller community than the one we lived in. But things were crazy-busy. All kinds of parents and their kids checking out books, tons of people poring over the DVDs available for borrowing, people browsing the internet, and library staff running all over the place reshelving books and moving carts of books from one place to another.

The library's about a 30 minute walk from our house-- not too bad-- although in the future we'll have to time it so that we don't get R home at 6:15 p.m. (she's usually in bed by then). We gave her a quick dinner of cereal flakes, an egg, and some toast and then I got her down to sleep around 7 p.m. without a bath.

Tomorrow we're heading out to PA to visit one of my college friends and her fiance then up to CT to visit J's family for the weekend. We wanted to try and make one more trip to see them before we get super-busy with work.
