It's Family Time!

Beginning today and running for the next few weeks, it's family time at the Lutman/Young household. Chris' brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews (ages 2 1/2 and 5) will be our guests until the end of May. Chris thinks it's a good way for me to gauge my tolerance for children (considering we're thinking about adoption).

So far, so good. They arrived this morning. After my gym time, I escorted them downtown to the Marienplatz and onto the outdoor market for lunch. After a few beers, mom and dad decided to stay behind, along with Adam (the 5 year old) while the 2 1/2 (Austin) came with me back home and to the grocery store.

As of 5:44 p.m., my initial reaction is one is doable while two is a lot of work. And forget about a personal schedule. I'm already missing my King of Queens sandwich break because Austin and I are eating hard boiled eggs outside. But that's okay. Mixing it up a bit is a good thing. Though, I don't know if Maddie and Dennis would agree. They're both getting chased around the house. After two weeks, we won't be the only ones exhausted.
