Say hello to Mr. Mom. Yes, Jon is hanging up the hardhat, badge and workboots up for good. Now there should be more time for study AND more importantly time to hang out with the family. It's been a little difficult over the last few years for me (Jon) to be in school most of the morning, come home to see the family for an hour or two, then head off to work (which was sometimes dangerous) until 11:00 PM, and then come home to study until ??:?? AM. But we did it.


I don't have any idea why I did that effect to the hard hat. I guess I was too excited.

Now Mr. Mom is learning how to do all kinds of things -- change poop diapers, not shrink the laundry, etc. And a real favorite has been making breads from scratch. Like this sourdough pizza crust, which was the best one yet.


Leigh is enjoying her new job at Macy*s. She's doing the things she likes to do -- touch makeup and talk to people.
She gets nice long breaks and works with nice people. And she gets to dress up. And nobody there has coming screaming and running to her because someone was looking at their toys. Not yet.

By the way, I did effects on this picture on purpose.

It's nice that we can do things together in the evening now. For an example, see below:





By the way, it's the Centennial Park, not the Bicentennial Park. I was previously unsure, because the sign is hidden by shrubs.

In this picture, I wanted to get all of their faces in the holes at the same time. That didn't work, as you can see. And when they're old enough to follow my directions they probably won't be as cute. Maybe.

it's working great.

Michael Keaton absolutely spoiled Batman by becoming Mr. Mom. Although they did raise a good issue in that movie about the ratio of hot-dogs to hot-dog buns in their respective packages.
