Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Declan and I spent the last day of 2011 down at San Elijo State Beach where my parents were camping for the weekend. Bryan had had the last two weeks off with the baby and I wanted to give him some time to himself. Declan napped on the way there (it is about an hour drive), we enjoyed some sushi for lunch and crawling in the dirt, and then he slept on the way home too. Yay! Bryan made us a delicious chicken dinner, topped off with a little champagne and then I called it a night! I tried to watch the ball drop to celebrate the New York new year but couldn’t find a live showing of it on our channels. Maybe next year we will do something a little more crazy, but this year all I wanted was some rest. We spent the rest of the weekend being lazy. I came down with a bad migraine Sunday night and it lasted well into Monday, but Declan was a trooper and even napped with me on the couch. We spent some time at the park and made our first cardboard house, much to Declan’s excitement. Tomorrow it is back to work with a new schedule of 7am – 4pm for me so that I can pick up Declan from daycare while Bryan coaches lacrosse. It should be an interesting few months, with our normal routine completely thrown off by practice and games. Here is to hoping that we all get used to it quickly!
