Day Off

Yesterday, I had the day off work for Veteran's Day, so Margot and I got to get in some serious quality time. This is what's great about having a young baby: a nice chunk of that quality time was spent at the Verizon store. I had to get my phone replaced (again, ug) so we just set up camp while the Verizon people did their thing, and we played with some toys, had a bottle, and practiced walking around. It was great!  I may have been the first customer that store has ever seen who was in absolutely no rush to leave. 

Our life is not like that nearly enough. I feel like the thing that makes parenting the hardest is that pesky requirement to do other crap. Not to say that I don't ever want to do grown up things with grown up people, because I most certainly do. But wouldn't it be nice to completely shed the need to do anything on a timetable? At least for a little while? 

Ah, fantasies. Anyway, after the super fun Verizon store we hit the grocery to pick up some baby supplies and a bit of lunch for an impromptu picnic. We made a break for the park and Adam was able to steal away from work for a bit and voila! A heavenly family moment was born.
