Fifteen months later
Though this blog has been neglected, life continues happily on Byoona Vista Avenue. Ella turned 3 in April. I had a surreal moment last week visiting friends who just had their baby. They were recovering in the same hospital room Greg and I were in 3 years ago. It’s funny how the universal nature of that experience doesn’t make it any less special. It even makes it more special.
Anyway, Ella’s doing really well. She had to take her first antibiotic this week for a cold turned sinus infection. She made it 3 years without antibiotics which seems pretty good.
Greg and I are managing to get out and do things like normal people do. We never really relinquished our normal selves for parenthood, but it's getting even easier as Ella gets older. I went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon with a friend recently. We partied with rock stars at night and hung out at fancy pools in the morning. This weekend we’re seeing a concert in DC. The following weekend we’re camping for the first time with Ella. (Stay tuned because I have a feeling this may be a very serious error. Family camping sounds cozy but the reality is bound to be far from our imaginings. At least we have hale and hearty camping friends who are organizing the trip.)
In other news, we booked our flights to Australia for two weeks in July. My parents are coming with us and it will be their first visit. I’ll do my best to document that adventure, but I may be preoccupied with survival. Ella is looking forward to it but she has no concept of what is involved in getting there, namely 30 hours without a bed for our girl who still spends 14 hours a day sleeping.
Glad to be back on the blog. I’ll post some pictures soon.
