Fun in Maine

I miss my internet...how sad is that?  A beach we STILL havent yet been to...right down the road...and I miss the INTERNET?!?!

Needless to say we have been busy with family.  My inlaws outlandish party was actually very nice.  I was re-introduced to many people that were at our wedding that I didnt even remember meeting (scary, huh?).  Baby had a delightful time being entertained by his cousins and it was generally fun.

Reusker had to fly down to Miami for most of this week...kind of a bummer.  I have to remind myself that the original purpose of this trip was for me and Baby to hang out with family (escape the heat) while Reusker got lots of work done.  When it morphed into him working HERE, then I started to get possessive of our evenings...thinking we'd get to enjoy Portland dining with a -gasp- babysitter (my mom)!  But, it wasnt meant to be...its just me and Squirmy.  But we are having lots of fun all the same.

We spent yesterday afternoon with my best friends and their kids.  Today we went to lunch (seafood!) with Grampie (Reusker's dad) and I'm going to the movies with my brother tonight, after we take a stroll with my friend this afternoon.  I've spent the last few evenings with my brother, while my mom watches the baby.  I am loving the freedom, she is loving the baby, and he's loving the attention of his Oma!  Yeah!

Baby (soon to be Toddler, as he turns 1 in a week - OMG!) has been kinda out of sorts.  Really, he's been angelic (way better than I deserve) for the first year.  But now he's agitated lately.  I'm sure being away from home, his crib, his schedule is hard for him.  He has all these strangers grabbing him, meals and naps are entirely erratic now.  AND he is teething and has allergies.  So, he certainly has his excuses...but I still miss the easy-going Chilled Guy.  The crying is nerve shattering to me.  Clearly I have become spoiled over the last year of relative quiet and calm...

Arwyn's attitude towards things changed when she turned 1. She went from a pretty happy, smiley kid to a bit more of a handful. And I think something in her brain clicked and she realized that when she cried, I came running to help her...she's still trying to milk that one at 2 1/2. I'm sure it is also all the people, activity, new experiences, etc. A part of him probably does just want to be home with you in the same old cozy schedule he's used to, but he's also probably enjoying the change.

What movie did you see? Inquiring minds who haven't been to a film since last December wish to know!

I'm glad everything is going well.

Sounds like fun times. The only time I miss the Internet when I'm on vacation, is when I want to look something up.

I missed being on the internet when I was sick and in the hospital recently. Being able to lookup information whenever I need to or want to was sorely missed!!
