Still here

Hopefully, the next time that you read this, Gary will be posting his first blog entry about my quick and painless labor.

Since today is Monday, it is what Chase and I have dubbed "Mommy-Chase Day". Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are "Sue's House Days", Fridays we go back to "Mommy-Chase Day" and the weekends are "Mommy-Daddy-Chase Days".

Chase told me yesterday that "Mommy-Daddy-Chase Days" are his favorite days. He has a hard time understanding why Gary has to go to work on Monday mornings. The first thing he asked me this morning was if Daddy was at work. I told him yes and then I got the 499,999 "Why?" question (those are very popular in our house right now).

I explained to him that Dad has to go to work to pay for the house, our food and most importantly, for the free health insurance (okay, I didn't stress that to Chase, but it is a big reason for staying employed). Chase then added, "And for a boat. I want a boat." Already the kid understands the concept of money. Gary got a kick out of the story, but told Chase a boat isn't in our budget for a very, very long time.
