Two Weeks

Apparently, time files when you’re loving on delicious baby toes and teeny-tiny fingers, because we blinked and our little bundle is two weeks old.

Despite having to get back to work on websites much sooner than originally intended, I’ve been trying my hardest to have a little time that is just for Zara.  There are a lot of things these last few months that have led me far astray from the carefree “babymoon” I had planned.  But even with delays that extended websites into January and moving preparations, we’ve managed to carve out at least a couple weeks for adjustment and family time (with much thanks to Zara who decided to arrive on time and not two weeks late), before we get down to the business of packing for our trek to the middle of the country, which is officially starting next weekend.

I regret the timing being what it is and wish very much for my vision of how our days would be spent following Peach’s birth; but life happens. There’s nothing we can do but make the best of it, and so that it what we’re doing.  I’m hoping to have my last “pre-baby special” website live this week, then I just have one more bigger site to finish up before I can take a little break for a while.  Next weekend, we start the official work of moving by breaking down Nora’s room so we can start packing (and have a place to put boxes).  And then it will be a frenzied couple of weeks as we get everything ready for that sad, sad, sad day: February 13th, when we say goodbye to our home 30 miles out to sea.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
