A Night Apart

On September 28th, more than ten months after DM graced our lives, Matt and I finally mustered up the courage to spend a night away from him. We drafted a wordy how-to list on DM, kissed him, and made the short drive South to the picturesque town of Hastings. Matt and I spent the night at the historic Rosewood Inn and it was a fun and relaxing night. We are both extremely grateful to Erin and Carole for showering our boy with TLC and for giving us a night of uninterrupted sleep after some 300 uneasy nights. It was wonderful(!) but we were glad to love up our little one in the morning.

Hanging in Ezie's Kitchen

We spent this morning in fun, relaxing fashion just hanging out with dear friends in their kitchen. Christa and I drank tea and caught up, Ezra strummed on his guitar and generously shared his toys (carefully selecting baby friendly ones for DM), and Desie explored his surroundings along with his thoughtfully selected toys. A lovely morning, thanks C and E!

Warm Weather Visitor

We had a visit from a dear friend of Grandma Carole's today. Diana Bergen came all the way from Tucson, AZ to spend some time with DM (ok, in the interest of full disclosure she also attended a wedding) and DM greeted her warmly. They practiced his clapping, tapped out a tune in his tummy and looked at pictures of Matt as a baby. Great to see you, Diana!
