this week began with a very relaxing long weekend in michigan. bean stayed on there with her grandparents, and while we always miss her when she's away, life is easier in many ways without a toddler around. yes, toddlerlessness is apparent everywhere, from the scissors and full glasses of water left carelessly...perhaps gleefully on the floor, sleeping in until after 9am, and an unfamiliar feeling of leisure and relaxation juxtaposed with maximal productivity. yesterday, for example, we went on foot to the post office, the apple store, for a run, and made dinner on top of the usual eating/feeding/sleeping/knitting requirements, the big boy in tow for all these tasks.
as a result, for the first time in six months, i'm writing this blog from the living room rather than on the floor underneath my bedside table because we again have wireless internet (and i also finally replaced the a and s keys on my keyboard, missing since a few months ago when princess threw a plate at my laptop that had to remain open at all times while it acted as a router. do you know how many words have the letters a and/or s in them? my name, for example). remarkable! and so, from the living room, i present to you this week in pictures (a little more reese-heavy than usual).
