Back to the Cold

Hilton Head was very very relaxing and WARM. We both had a great time spending it with friends, sleeping in, playing poker (which I won, by the way), reading by the pool, and occasionally dipping our little toe in because it was freezing cold. The beach was nice and we walked in the ocean. The whirlpool spas were nice and warm and the indoor pool was a big hit. Suzanna and Vicki beat Christopher and Matt to a pulp at shuffleboard and Matt seemed to be the big winner at Taboo and minigolf. Overall a really great vacation. I wish we could have stayed longer. But on the other hand I was missing my little boy.

Nathan also had a great time at the grandparents' houses. He played and ate (a little) and even took a few naps. He only asked for us once or twice and was content to just play and have fun. Everyone tells me that's becuase he's "securely attached" and doesn't have any fear that we won't come back. I guess that's a good thing. He actually did really good back at daycare this week, taking a nap almost on time. Usually when he gets back from a long vacation his nap has slipped back to 2-2:30 which is the time the rest of the kids are waking up so he doens't really sleep. But he did really good going down around 1:15 both days.

I'm back at work, slowly getting into the swing of things again. I just wish it wasn't so cold up here. i really want to go back to shorts again.

One last thought, driving to work with Steven Tyler singing "I Love Trash" (think Sesame Street) really gives a kick to your morning. you gotta try it.

Have a great St. Patty's Day and weekend.
