Ah, where do the days go?

Gone are the days when I could while away the hours reading or online or working in the garden... well, in fairness, they aren't completely gone. I really try to have some "full on" time with Emer during the weekends because when I work during the week, she gets a video while her dad finishes painting or putting on skirting board or handles for the new cabinets, etc. The weekends are our quality time and I try to take that seriously. Sure, sometimes we have to run errands. Sometimes we have to laundry. Sometimes, often, it's pissing rain and we are stuck indoors. But sometimes, every now and then, I get lucky and there is a window of good weather where we get to go for a walk together, or sit out on the back deck and hang out in the sun. Or at least, the non-rain. :) When Emer takes her naps, I run around trying to get the kitchen cleaned up or a bit of laundry finished or bottles made. It seems like there's always something to do. And we're the lucky ones.... our precious bundle sleeps. She goes down about 7-8pm and sleeps until morning. We get two hours together in the evenings where we're both too tired to anything other than watch tv and share a bottle of wine. Some of our friends aren't so lucky. We are truly blessed.

So, since I wrote last I have turned down the job that would've allowed me to move to san diego. i just didn't like the girl i would've been working for and i would've been away from emer and martin too much.

On a happier note, our kitchen is mostly finished. We need new light fixtures and new countertops. Honestly, I don't know when we're going to fit that in. M's finding it alot harder to do work on the house when he's supposed to be watching Emer. Go figure. I'm thinking of lining up a daycare and saying 'hey, why don't we drop her off here today?' lol



It's all good. Just busy. As I guess it should be when you have a baby.

wondering where I'd gotten to?

Yep, I went for the huge photo. It really captures her look the best. :))

So much has changed since I last wrote. I'll have to fill you in on it. Soon. I'll be back in the next few days to tell you where I've been and what's been going on. In the meantime, here's my smiley girl.

Miss you all!
