Friday Eve

It's been a long week, low on sleep and high on priorities.

I should have a couple of new photos of the sprout to put up this weekend. Last Sunday, the three of us took a trip to the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. This is the boy's second outing to the aquarium, though I tend to doubt he remembers the original expedition.

He seemed impressed by the sharks that were hanging from the ceiling; then, as we entered the aquarium (which is necessarily dim), he began to look around pretty intently at the fish-filled tanks. Looking into the tanks would cause him to smile, which I suppose is a good thing.

It's neat to show him new things and see his reactions to them. Everything is new for Stephen, and to observe his obvious wonder is a true (and vicarious) gift.

So, those pictures will show up sometime this weekend. Stay tuned.
