London Bound

In what promises to be a grand last hoorah (that is, before the second baby comes along), Elizabeth and I are going to London...that's right, just the two of us.  We are there on official Squam business (we get to decide what's official, so take that with a grain of salt!), taking a workshop, in the English countryside, with an incredible textile/sculpture teacher that Elizabeth has had her eye on for quite some time.  Once the workshop wraps, we will be hanging out in London for a few days- shopping, dining and taking in the sites.  My camera is packed and at the ready- I can hardly wait to share this adventure with you!

My husband just returned from 2 1/2 weeks abroad for work, so I have been on full-time baby duty for the better half of the month (add a few days of the little one battling the stomach flu, just for good measure).  While I am excited for some alone time, I am pretty anxious and sad to be saying goodbye to my little guy (I haven't even spent a night away from him since he was born).  I know that he is in good hands- but oh my- will I miss him.

Just the other day, before the snow melted, we went sledding together.  I pulled him to the park on the sled, and he giggled with joy the entire way.  It's hard to imagine loving a sound more than I love that little laugh of his.  I'm holding this image close to my heart as I set sail for London...
