At Home

I am home now! It's been great, so rewarding but so tiring! We have been out and about a little bit, with some hikes thrown in during the week. I have cooked every night I've been home, which has been awesome. I am so sick of take out! We are getting into a good groove, and I can't wait to grow with my son!

Family hike on the Charm Bracelet Trail around Westborough, Easter Sunday. Didn't see any bunnies.

I forgot the best one!

One more picture - it's the best of the bunch. Uli at his 6 months check-up: 17 lbs, 26.5 inches. What you can't see in the picture is that it was really warm in the exam room, and apparantely my son was very comfy. He peed all over the scale. :)

It's Official

My stint as a Project Manager in clinical research ended peacefully and without much ado yesterday, which was exactly how I wanted it to end. A peaceful transition into SAH-motherhood is what I need, although the peaceful part is in question as I listen to my son sadly moan upstairs as he drifts off for his morning nap.

I have a few pictures to post today, here they are:

Momma, LaLa and Uli playing around a few weeks ago. (2/25/08)

Uli and I went hiking last Friday (3/7/08) in Upton State Park since it was so gorgeous out. The snow was melting, and most of the trails were in awesome condition (some were a bit swampy, and some were still icey, but I had my spikes on my shoes and poles to keep us stable). Uli loved being outside and was particularly intrigued with the running streams.

And, oh yes, I turned 30 last week. I still am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I have been tormenting my parents for 30 years now. Hardly seems like a blink of an eye. My lovely husband took me to a fabuluous Italian bistro for dinner with my dear friends Virg and Natron, and bought be the much coveted Henry Cuir bag and PS Teslar watch (He listened to me!). My mother bought me 30 irises and took me for a luxurious spa day and wonderful dinner with my sister. It couldn't have been a better celebration.
