As our most loyal readers know, I started this blog twoish years ago. I asked John if he approved, but his response was “I’m not going to tell you ‘no.’”
Since then, John has started posting. If fact- he has written the last 19 posts. I do all the great photography, and he steals it!
But anyway. Some recent happenings….
My Grandmother, my Dad, and my Aunt Sharon came out to Boston, so I decided to take the girls up to see them. About two hours into the drive I started to wonder if this trip was a bad idea. According to my new GPS, the drive should take 3 hours. However, this assumes that there are no delays- traffic, refueling, restless or hungry babies, etc. Our drive took just over 5 hours. One way. Mostly due to baby caused delays.
I enjoyed spending time with my dad, aunt, and grandmother. I loved this trip because I haven’t had much time with many members in my family for a long time. I’ve lived on the east coast over 10 years now, and when I go home every one still has his or her regular work and responsibilities, so I see everyone for maybe an hour or so a day. I love seeing how much my dad enjoys being a grandpa. Ten hours of driving was totally worth it.
John mentioned this year’s annual autumn Sunday afternoon. This is my favorite picture from the drive. In the unlikely event I get Christmas cards out this year, I might include this one.
After two years we've decided that we just weren't moving fast enough on the renovations, so we hired a wonderful contractor. We now have a bathroom that has been stripped down to the studs, a brand new tub installed, and lots of things in boxes in the nursery that in a few weeks will be part of our new bathroom. Yeah!
