Virtual Vacay

We are back from a wonderful getaway.  LJ was a rockstar despite his refusal to sleep on the flights.  We flew Virgin America and it was too much fun - free Wi-Fi,  all the flight attendants had British accents, movies and tv on demand, snacks and beverages on demand.....but the best part was the flight attendant who hooked us up (because I was such a brave woman) with our own row on the way out there AND a free glass of wine.  Coming home we saw (500) Days of Summer.

Big boy Blake and his Mom!  The weather was at least 20 degrees warmer in Los Gatos (named after the million or so stray cats that live there) then it was here in DC.  One kind of fruit or another grows in just about everyone's garden.  It was perfect.  Everything about it.  We checked out the Monterey Bay Sea Aquarium, then had lunch outside while we watched for sea otters.  We didn't exactly make it to the beach but I insisted on bringing back a Santa Cruz skate sweathsirt anyway.  Good food, good drink and good friends!  Meredith and I got to even take naps this weekend when the boys cooperated.
Meredith took us to a Mommy n Me Yoga class.  She and I had many glasses of wine.  We walked to the farmers market then played on the plaza.  We also enjoyed a delicious dinner with friends, Trent and Abby and their wee one, C.
When we got home Nate told me "he missed me and talked about me a lot while I was gone".  Sorry there aren't any pix from the "man" weekend because I had the camera!  But it was reported that Nate not only took over the middle of my bed, he now snores!  He had one too many parties, one too many takeout meals and not enough showers.

Since we've been home for all of 24 hours, Noodles has had Speech Therapy once last night and once this morning.  He got his RSV shot this morning as well.  And after that he practiced on his Pony gait trainer...the one we got from our online friends, Ellen and Max.  Max also has CP which he incurred after suffering a stroke at birth.  Each time I learn about Max growing up, it leaves my heart a whole lot more full because I know LJ is doing what he is supposed to be doing too.  He's growing up at his own pace.  You can get to know cute little Max more right here.  HBOT starts tomorrow and we are anxious to see how it all goes.  Check back for a post dedicated to the treatment.  Until then, LJ is catching up on his zzzzzzzzz's.

  1. Hi! Fun photos, glad you had a great getaway. Good luck with HBOT, we also got it for Max! Not sure what it did for him, but it's one of those things (in our opinion) that couldn't hurt and might help.
