working overtime

Recently, both girls have slept through the night on a few occasions.  My mind feels like it's coming out of a fog, and I'm not that impressed with myself.  I have done very little to develop friendships in the last year, and am now dealing with a bit of loneliness.  I was quite surprised by this discovery-- how can you be lonely if you spend all your free time with wife and kids?  A mystery of life I suppose.

The kids are getting the hang of life around the house.  Janny is involved in all household chores. 
 The girls can now take baths together.  Convenient and fun for all.
 Clara remains our star dishwasher.
 Janny is best at rearranging dishes in the dishwasher and checking for water spots.
Clara loves buses.  She regularly points to them and says 'Clara bus'.  So we took a bus ride last weekend.  We walked the half-block to the stop, waited 2 minutes, and got on the Red bus to the Champaign terminal.  Then we walked to Pekara where we happened to meet some friends and ate lunch together.  We had to wait 15 minutes at the terminal for the return trip, so we checked out the artwork.
Still the bike plus trailer is our primary means of getting around town.  After over 2 years of using the Burley trailer daily, the rivets for button snaps on the cover have broken.  Hopefully repair will be a snap.
