Me, Her, Him, and Us

In this quaint, modern family home of ours there are three member: Myself, my girlfriend (She, Her, etc.) and our son (Him, He, etc), a four and a half year old streak of energy. Despite the current "buyer's market" that is dominating today's economy, we still rent . . . an apartment. It's nothing glamorous, and we would prefer a house, but it suits us well and, in the long run, we have no complaints. It is a bit of a challenge not having a yard to unleash the little vibrant wonder, but we make do with parks, trips to the grandparents, and an occasional glass (or bottle) of wine. We are lucky enough to live near Her parents which provides an excellent outlet for His energy while allowing Him to have a great relationship with His grandparents and, above all, giving Us a glimpse of sanity and freedom on an occasional weekend night. We tend to work opposite schedules as She works part-time on the weekends and evenings with an overlap every now and again (thank you grandparents). We have plenty of grand plans for the years to come and We never loose sight of them, but for now, We stroll forward as individuals and as a family in this every changing world of toy recalls, child obesity epidemics, and parent-focused reality TV.
