Max spent almost three weeks with Grandma Susan this summer. He was fascinated by her beach hairdo and wishes that we had the swaddling technique, seen here, down as well as she does. The presence of Leah's family at the Cape for most of August led to the presence of Leah at the Cape for most of August, which led to a lot of takeout burritos in our home. I even tried to go to a movie every night, but since I was also working until 9ish, that was not a plan that could last more than a week. I did manage to get in Grizzly Man (creepy), Crash (dumb - at one point, one man decides to kill another whose name is Daniel Ruiz and lives in LA. So he picks up the LA phone book, looks up Daniel Ruiz and, in the next scene, is in front of the correct Mr. Ruiz's house. Are we to believe that there is just one in the entire city?) and Four Brothers (Mark Wahlberg and Andre 3000 are supposed to be brothers. Need I say more?)

Anyhow, the movie watching made me a little exhausted. So, like all of my best plans, I quit.
