It's been a rocky couple of weeks here in the Larkin house, hence our lack of a blog post last week. Things have been crazy and busy and we're finally starting to see some light at the end of the roller coaster tunnel. Now we're just hoping that there's not another crazy climb or drop awaiting us on the outside.

Max had himself a pretty entertaining week. Aside from being initiated into his day care circle of friends with a nice bite mark on his arm, he's been very busy with even more new activities to entertain us. His weekend was so busy that we'll have to break it out into two posts. Today I'll cover up to his play date with Mikey. Later in the week we'll talk about his trip up to Sherman. I'll try to get some videos out there for both.

Yet again I made the grave mistake of presuming that I might actually be able to post two blog entries in one week. What possessed me to make such ridiculous statements is beyond me. Probably sunspots or chemtrails behind commercial airliners or something. No matter. I've a second wind this evening thanks to a homemade blueberry muffin (stuff it, Betty Crocker) so I'll fill you in with a quick blurb on Sherman and crank out a few videos.

Really quick one tonight, just an update to the previous post. The photos from Sherman (plus a few others) are up on Flickr now. You can click here to see them. Christy and I are exhausted from our crazy (though enjoyable, photos to come soon) day at Sea World, so amusing photo captions are left as an exercise for the reader.

Jon and I have been hoarding our vacation days all year long, in preparation for Owen's arrival in September. Before last week, we'd taken only two half-days, to travel to The Woodlands in April and May. So, we were looking forward to relaxing on the two days we took off to drive to San Antonio for a visit to SeaWorld with the Larkin cousins, their parents, and Nan and Papa.

Our days off weren't necessarily relaxing, but Max had fun, and that's all that matters. However, we're EXHAUSTED...
