I could spin a number of excuses, but really, I just don't have any good ones. I have not been especially busy- but somehow I have just not found the time to write. And now, with a totally crazy week, here I am at the keyboard. Go figure.

First for the update: Sam has his first cold.  Poor little guy has a nasty cough and some serious digestion issues.  Hopefully this will tear through him quickly and we can get back to normal.  Of course, he is taking it all like a champ.  Vomiting one minute then smiling and cooing the next.  Such a super star! I am officially an unemployed mom.  I turned in my work computer and everything! (side note: images will be coming later- my new machine and I are having a little disagreement about pulling photos off my phone!)  Being unemployed if liberating and scary... but I am seeing freelance work heading my way soon.

In the meantime, Sam and I are keeping busy working on a special project that I promise I will let everyone know about in the next few weeks.  We are sworn to secrecy for now.  I promise... it should be fun.

Oh, and for those wondering, Mother's Day was so nice.  Peter and Irene made me breakfast and then we spent the day on the coast.  First we visited the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to look at the tide pools and then we headed down to Bean Hollow beach to just hang out.  It was a wonderful day, and just so nice to spend it with both my children.
