Aquarium and other stuff
So it’s been a bit busy here the past few weeks. Shocking I know. Dan just switched companies today and is now working for his new company. Nothing much changed in his actual work environment since he is still doing the same job just new company in charge.
This weekend we went out and saw my inlaws, my father in law just had back surgery so we went to their house to visit. Their fridge apparently died and they aren’t planning on getting a new one until my father in law can go out looking with my mother in law. I personally would have problems not having a fridge for 2 weeks, but whatever works for them. My father in law is doing well and seems to be recovering well. They both loved playing with Desmond. We had a nice time there.
We went to a baby wearing expo before we went to their house, it was nice. We tried on a carrier I’m interested in. It fits well, but doesn’t seem like a big change from our Mei Tei so we decided to wait before buying it. We may get one later on though.
Sunday we ran a bunch of errands. We are looking for a chair for Desmond to sit in, in the living room. We used his bouncer, but he has outgrown it and it doesn’t look safe anymore. So we’re looking for something to replace it with. Unfortuantely there aren’t many options. We found one, but the only places that sells them are in England and Europe, which makes shipping fairly expensive, and we would like to see it before we buy it. Oh well, we’ll probably waffle long enough that he is sitting before we do anything and just get him a toddler sized arm chair.
Today Desmond and I went to the Aquarium and met some nice Moms and children from our baby wearing group. It was fun. We got there late, but found them after the dolphin show anyways, so it worked out. We had fun and went out to lunch afterwards before heading home. It was a fun day, even if I did have to drive in Baltimore.
Other then that not much else going on this week at least. Which is nice, we have Gymboree on Wednesday but nothing else till this weekend when we go visit my inlaws again for their labor day cookout. Though atty will be doing the grilling this year instead of my father in law, Back surgery and all.

The Thursday after Desmond’s appointment, Dan and I went out to dinner with friends, while the 15 year old daughter of another friend babysat Desmond. Apparently Desmond decided to cry for the whole 3 hours we were gone, poor baby sitter and poor Des. That Friday we went to the Aquarium with said 15 year old. It was fun, Desmond liked it. We are getting a lot of use out of that membership in our first month having it, which is good. That Saturday we went to the National Zoo. It was nice, Desmond was awake for a different part of it and saw some animals including all three Pandas. We returned said 15 year old to the friend’s house she was staying at late Saturday evening, because we got a later start then planned when going to the zoo.
Sunday we went to the hospital to see my father in law. He was doing decently and loved seeing Desmond. Other then that the rest of the past week was quiet. My Grandmother is doing decently with her new hip, we need to send flowers still, as soon as I get a location for where she is from my Mom.
That is about it though, see pretty boring.
