The Suisse Family Robinson

Today we went over to our friends, the Whitmore's, to have an early dinner. Lara had a great time playing with their son, Josh. Josh is very good at sharing his toys including a big inflatable bouncy and a Pooh car. I was so proud that Lara was actually being nice back to Josh! She liked him so much, in fact, that when he came to give her a hug that was not enough for her. Josh started to walk away and Lara called "Josh! Kiss!" She kept repeating that until he came over and gave her a kiss. On the lips. I don't blame him. Who could resist a face like this?

When I first started working at my school it was located right across the street from our newly purchased condo. I could get up at 7:00 am and still be to work on time at 8, and that was even with a baby! Now the school has moved to Clintonville and I have a 20 minute commute on a good day. But on bad days, like today, it takes me an hour and a half to crawl down 315! I was so proud of myself this morning, got up early at 6 to get Lara ready for daycare, feed Vivi, and get out the door by 7:30 so I could get to a work meeting at 8:15. I figured that if I could do this it would be easier to go back to work next week full-time. I did everything right except the darn traffic was against me. I long for the days of having Lara in a stroller, walking across the street to work...

I decided that I was getting bored on my maternity leave so I should start a blog. Previously I have resisted because I was having trouble keeping up with my Facebook, let alone a blog! But I will give it a try :)
