I am now another year older, and I have the gray hairs to prove it, as my mother so kindly laughed at. I can hear it now, another year into this, and she's going to start harassing me to color my hair. Ah... growing up with a hair dresser as your mother...
All in all, it was a lovely birthday: my mother flew in to celebrate with me and to ooze all over The Ooch. I think she left pretty satisfied. It's amazing to me how strong their bond remains - he just loves her so much, and they picked right up as if she had never left. It's beautiful.
So, the weekend was packed full of fun and love. Mom and I went shopping for 'new' home items at this fantastic store I discovered in Sterling, MA, called 'Oh My Gosh!' Its a funky antique-y, found item store, and it was tough to get out of there in two hours. A lovely new-to-me apron came home with me, along with some old canning jars, and a stack of vintage hankies. Happiness.
We went to the New England Aquarium, which despite the crowd, was quite a hit with everyone. Uli is still talking about it, which is pretty good for my 2.5 year old...
We ended the weekend with a trip to the ER - well, I say 'we,' but it was Brian, and I didn't go with him, Rob did. Brian almost successfully removed his ring finger while washing dishes. They sent him home all super-glued up. $50 not well spent.
Anyway... projects are coming, I can feel it. I have been so tired at night that I haven't been able to do more than bake and then veg in my chair wine in one hand, crochet hook in the other. Not much to show for it - the bread gets eaten quickly and the baby blanket is slow going... Thank goodness Tess's babe isn't due until July!
Love to all - I hope to post some pics later this week...
