I cannot believe that Lenore will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. It doesn't seem possible. Of course, her actual 2 month birthdate is the 18th, but it is still pretty unbelievable that it has been so long since we brought her home.
Our routine seems to be pretty stable now, although Lincoln still has several micro-meltdowns anytime mommy leaves. Yesterday I told him that I would play with him in the yard with the squirt guns and he said "I don't want to play with you. I'll play with mommy when she comes home." Ouch...
We got a pool from Gena's mom and Rodger and we set it up in place of the one we bought. I spent about 3 hours yesterday cleaning it and filling it. The nice part about the new one is that it is large enough to have a filter and pump system attached which means I can chlorinate the water as well. I'm originally from an area where city water was an option to having a well, so there was never any discussion about water bills and how to keep them from breaking the bank. Now that I own a home in a metro area, I feel a bit anxious anytime the faucet is running! With the smaller pool, we would be putting about 50-60 gallons in, letting Lincoln play for a few hours and then dumping it. The new pool probably holds more like 150-160 gallons, but it will stay up until mid-September. Now the only thing that is bugging me is the non-eco-friendliness of simply draining that water instead of repurposing it for plants or grass. I'll have to look up ways to make it work out.
I'm not sure that there is much more to be said as of now. I am working whenever I can to get the kid's toy room set up. We picked up a very large train table from one of my coworkers and once everything is painted and finished, it will go into the room for Lincoln to play trains. I'll take pictures and post them when it's complete.
I'll also put any new images up on the slideshow gallery in the right sidebar. Enjoy!
