I doff my hat to you

I have a new found respect for parents. Until this weekend I don't think I fully appreciated the exponential level of difficulty involved in going through everyday activities with the addition a small child in tow. It's been an extraordinarily busy couple of days, filled with laughter, much excitement, the occasional brief bout of tears and probably more walking than is good for the temperament of a small child. I think both child and mother and quite exhausted now, but they seem to have enjoyed themselves regardless. Truth be told, I'm also a little fatigued after this weekend's somewhat frenetic pace. I'll fill you in on the details when I get the chance, but give me a until the following weekend at least. I've got a few other things on my mind at the moment, so I've hope you'll excuse me if I trade wit for brevity until things settle down some.

Goodnight for the moment...
