It is May and beautiful here in Marin County. Liz has been taking Stormy and Rocko on some hikes above our house on Pam's Blue Ridge fire road.
They often sleep through much of it but seem to enjoy the parts when they are cognizant.
The bassinets have been taken out of the buggy and Liz has been getting some exercise while they sleep and chatter away. I am jealous when I see the photos at work and hear of their adventures when I get home. Occasionally, I get home just as they are returning from some epic adventure and get to greet them.
I miss them so much when I am at work, and wonder if I am working too much and missing out on their childhood as a result. Things are strained financially, and I feel like it is important to be earning my keep at work in this economy.
We live in a pretty amazing place- and pay a premium for it. It is a trade off that both Liz and I question sometimes. We often talk about where else we might live that would be cheaper and allow us a bit more freedom and less stress. We never can seem to come up with an option that has what the Bay area offers for us; we hope the sacrifices we make will pay off for us and our kids in the end. We all deserve it.
