vacation

lots of fun was had . . . never venturing further than 45 min . . .

• lunch out with friends
• shopping by MYSELF—antiques and clothes
• hike up and around Mt. Philo with friends
• one morning of work at the Platt (Shoreham library)
• lots of book reading—with Joseph and of my own books
• J’s first formal yoga class—actually his first “drop-off” class of any sort which meant a coffee date with buds for me.  When we returned they kids were all actually in the typical final yoga pose (savasana or corpse) where they lay down, close their eyes, and do a visualization.  SO cute and amazing to see.
• quality time at our two favorite libraries
• rearranged the living room including a new piece of furniture for the TV from Bob (happens to be my old changing table )
• a cuddle and then a nap for J everyday!
• a large amount of cleaning and organizing (by my standards)
• an overnight for Joseph with Bob
• our “Strengthening Families” class at Joseph’s school
• Jewelry party with friends (just me—Brad and Joseph went shopping for Joseph’s party)
• bike riding, bike riding, bike riding . . . even around Bristol
• final coat of varnish on the vanity in the bathroom
• open gym with friends
• Pig roast at the neighbors
• dentist appointments for both J and I
• home cooking and a little baking—apple pie, our favorite
• and sleepover and fun times with Great-gram in Lincoln
• open swim with friends at Mt. Abe—so nice to be in the water

we did a lot, but it was also low-key and a really nice break for us.  much appreciated.
