The List

It's strange how the list of 'things we must have before leaving the house' has changed. Although it changed once we had the baby, surprisingly the camera did not make it to the list then (although my mom says it should have ;) ) Now, not only is the camera on the list for all trips outside the apartment in Germany, a lithium battery would be too, if that's what our camera operated off of. As it is, my new 3 a.m. question has become, "Honey, is the camera battery being charged?" Cuz really, who wants to remember to take a dead camera on a day outing?
