More Leif pictures will be posted within the next day or two.

I'm debating what to do about school this next semester (which starts the 18th). I had planned to take 4 units. Now I'm thinking about taking 7. The thing is, I don't have enough time to do much housework, but I have huge amounts of time where I'm tied to a chair with nothing to do. I've done more reading since Leif was born than I have in ages.

Of course, this may change as he gets older and more mobile.

Another consideration - if I take both classes, I'll have met the requirements for some certification in Early Childhood Education.

Today Leif was fussy for no apparent reason, so we went for a walk on the wooded trail near our apartment. We saw two deer. The walk took a lot longer than I'd intended because we tried to go back a different way, and it turned out that the different way didn't actually lead back to the apartment. Oops. But it didn't get dark, and he didn't get fussy, so that was alright.

Now Leif's asleep. I should take advantage of this and go to sleep myself, and have
