I just got back from a week-long retreat to my sister's in San Jose and I am feeling refreshed and so happy to be back!
The point of my leaving was to snip the laaast lingering thread of breastfeeding Ella and I had going on. That one breastfeeding session first thing in the morning...
Don't get me wrong, it was a lovely and cozy time for us, but toward the end there it was getting a little brutal with long nails and pulling and general lack of "lovely and cozy" feelings.
So! I hopped a train to San Jose and enjoyed a week with my sis doing the following things:
- knitting!! (photos of projects done there coming soon!)
- baking, cooking, fixing up the house
- running a half marathon in the San Francisco Marathon in place of my sister! (2:20...not bad?)
- eating out at all sorts of great places! (In 'n' Out, Indian buffet, Buca di Beppo, sushiiiii~)
- listening to a lot of NPR... :)
And now I'm back to find my little girl's...really grown!!
Things she and Daddy have been up to while I'm away?
Building a kite from scratch for one!! :)
Hopefully I'll post a shot of this thing in action, because boy can it fly~!
It also turned out that there were doing a little guitar shopping, and Daddy was able to trade in one of his electrics, for two adorable Ukeleles from the Fingerboard Extension!
It's far easier for Ella Rose to handle than a regular-sized guitar, and we've had a couple fun sessions of singing to the finger-plucking goodness of the ukelele. ♡
Well!
Just wanted to pop in and give some updates.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend, and Happy Ukele-ing~!
