We just returned from visiting Chrissy, Mike, Christian, and my Mom & Dad in CA for six days. It was the first time Chrissy & her family met Elise. She’s a good traveler! Slept most of the time on the planes. We stayed in a condo with my parents. They were there for 3 weeks, and were helping to take care of Christian while his babysitter was on vacation. We had a pretty low key, relaxing time there, but we got to do some wine tasting, take an intense (not according to Erick, though) hike in Muir woods, and ferry over to San Francisco for an afternoon. (See the photos in the gallery.) My long vacation/maternity leave since I stopped working in March is also about to come to an end. The day after Labor Day I go back to teaching history two mornings a week and working on some projects for The Greenhouse from home. I think it will be really good, but I hope the adjustment goes smoothly.
