Well, after Nino spanked me for not posting more often, I thought I'd send up a quick "What We're Up To" before I get sent to my room. ;)
I am sitting in my favorite cafe on the face of the planet, Calistoga Roastery, on the last morning of our annual family trip to Napa with my parents. 9 years running, and other than Thanksgiving or Christmas, this is absolutely the highlight of my year. Relaxing, fun, YUMMY and ... did I mention relaxing? Precious time with precious people, it is.
We've been splashing in the pools, running after Ronan (who does.not.stop.moving.EVER.), eating WAY too much at the CIA (this too has become a tradition on this trip ... 4 years now!), slathering and re-slathering the boys with sunscreen, laying on the beds hanging out and watching TV and just generally loving one another's company. It really doesn't get better than that, does it?
Oh, and my SIL sent me here for a massage for my birthday. God bless that woman. It was amaaaazing.
We're heading to my parent's place tonight, where my grandparents have been spending the week after the fires up here temporarily displaced them from their RV. Tomorrow, we head back this way to spend some more time with T's parents before heading over to my SIL's place outside of SF. It had been 7 months since we last saw their family, and I almost burst into tears when we saw them last week. 7 months is TOO LONG. Never again. Our move to SF can't come fast enough.
One of these days I'll post some pictures of our trip out West and this vacation. I don't have the cord to upload with me, so ya may have to wait a bit. In the meantime, I hope all of you are doing well.
Be back soon!
