No more TV

We gave up our cable at the beginning of the year. It was turning into background noise. We were all watching too much. The quality, too, was questionable. I mean, "Storage Wars" is vaguely amusing, but none of us needed to be spending that much time on it. We have missed it a little because of college basketball season -- but we'll survive.

The last week has been busy with a lot of things. Our 17th wedding anniversary was Saturday, and that was pretty lowkey, what with the insatiable and car-hating baby around.

I haven't had a baby who despises the car as much as this guy. Or maybe some of it is I have more places I have to be at at certain times. In some ways, it's a great thing, as it keeps me home more. The kids are doing more schoolwork, and I'm going through our pantry instead of buying a lot of groceries.

On Sunday, he was baptized. It was just our family and the godparents' family, so that was lowkey as well.
