Weekend away

We had a great weekend in DC which included me going out with friends on a Saturday night for drinks! Yes, that is pretty special these days. I don't remember the last time I did that. Sure we were a little tired the next day wakened by boys early, early in the morning, but soo worth it. I need to make sure to do that again soon. There is nothing better than feeling balanced by all the little things in life that bring joy. It's also during those times that I feel damn lucky.

Cheekalicious!

Not so funny

While cleaning up my desktop, I came across this picture. I have posted it before, but it made me smile again. Here is Miles with his cousins Louise and Violette. It's so sweet how hard they are trying to make him smile. He is hardly impressed :) To his credit, he was feeling quiet sick the entire time.

slowing down

Work has been very demanding lately, but I finally feel like I have some breathing space again. In fact, I am sitting here with awesome red wine and dark chocolate (thanks Papa!) feeling very relaxed. Work should slow down now for a while and I am looking forward to the fall. There is the Folk Festival, weekend trips to the mountains, vineyards, and the apple orchard. In late November we are off to Germany!! We got the flights and passports are ordered. I can't wait, although I am slightly nervous about the long airplane ride with Miles.
