Out & About

There are competing forces that must strike a balance in any family with both a toddler and an infant. On the one hand is massive logistical complexity--exhibiting itself in the form of diapers, wipes, snacks, bottles, jackets, hats, gloves, blankets, burp cloths, baby dolls, and the like--tending always to keep us in the familiar territory that is Home Base. On the other hand is the ever-lurking toddler ennui--exhibiting itself in sudden outbursts of crying, over-zealous pats to the head of the baby sister, and desperate pleas to "watch pig! watch pig!"--tending to get us Out & About before our heads explode. So we've posted a bunch of snaps from the Home Base and a bunch more from trips Out & About, such that you may better grasp the duality of our family situation.
