With Family

Today was 100% deliciously non-productive. The focus was on being comfy and cozy with a glass of wine or two thrown in for spice.  My parents, brother, sister-in law, uncle and grandmother all wandered about my old house munching, chatting and playing with Margot. Margot was the star of our little world today of course! As the first member of her generation in my immediate family she gets A LOT of kisses and hugs.  The little cutie is pretty good about it all and generally has a smile (or a burp or a stinky diaper – it’s like Russian roulette sometimes!) to share.  The only hard thing is that she’s at the age where strangers frighten her a bit at first (even family), which can be hard for people who love her. So it’s all about taking things slowwwww. 

In general, I think these moments are good for me. Having just left (temporarily) a busy job I’m learning to live at a bit of a slower pace, which can be hard sometimes. Liberating. But Hard!
