The hand is much better...

So I got the anticipated "GRR" from my loving hubby. But since he hadn't read it until it had already been up for two days he figured I might as well leave it up. :)

Anyway, the vacation, LOVED IT! The boy was great in the car. He entertained himself, played with the provided toys, napped and was generally in a happy mood right until we were actually in Fredericton. It knocked us on our ass, so we took him to Walmart and spoiled him a little with some toys to thank him. M & K & E are great! We stayed at their place with them. The baby is the cutest thing I have ever seen and is the crying-only-when-hungry type. Big blue eyes and looks just like her daddy with bits of her mommy thrown in. M & K has been building a new house about three lots down from their current one which is next door to K’s parents. GORGEOUS!!! I’m so totally jealous of them getting a new house, of all the loving details that M and his dad have been putting into it. The closets are works of art! Anyway, they should be all moved in and happy with in the next month.

We got to see all of J’s family a couple times each. There was a huge family Thanksgiving dinner on the Monday afternoon. Everyone loved the boy and I can see that J was having a great time interacting with his peeps. I even relaxed enough with the boy to drop him off with my mother-in-law for the day to give him some time with his “Nana” and give me a day off.

The first night we were in Fredericton we got to go hang out with ANGERAH and her ‘rents. They are the best kind of people. I mean, even when my kid’s diaper leaked on their floor and was found by Angerah’s dad in his sock feet, they totally didn’t point and laugh! :D I was totally embarrassed, but I guess it’s like when you bring your new puppy over and he piddles on the floor. Anyway, the boy was great otherwise. He ate a big dinner and was generally cute. Mrs. Angerah made this awesome dessert made from phyllo pastry, pumpkin, and cream cheese…*DROOL* I so totally love them bunches! They took me in for a week of vacation back in April before I started the blog. I had an awesome time and felt like a real part of the family. Can’t wait to see them all again when we go back in the summer.

Anyway, not to say that K is not the best baker I know! When we pulled in the driveway she had this awesome stuff that was crackers covered in butter, chocolate, and nuts. SO addictive! Also there was the two different kinds of cheesecake and random cooking she did while we were with them. Needless to say I gained two pounds over my vacation.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t much of a vacation for J. He had to work the entire time. It was the only way we were going to swing leaving town after buying the house. We went out most evenings to see friends of his from days gone by. R & B were great, old friends of J’s from Art College. We went and saw their new house and the boy was introduced to air hockey. He has major talent with it! He scored on J once!

Anyway, to wrap it up, vacation equals good. I have been running on the treadmill every night since we got home. I've lost the two pounds I gained plus two more besides. One more to go and I’m back to where I started and will start making progress on losing the last 15.

Good night to my Public! :D
