Back From Whence I Came

Hi All! I haven't posted in awhile since I went on vacation with the family. It was the boy's first real vacation and there were some bumps with teething and getting to sleep in new places (and oh do I have a whopper of a story about one particular night). However, he did really well overall. We went to Cape Cod for a little over a week to stay with my folks who rented a place there. It rained most of the time, but we still enjoyed ourselves and got one day on the beach for pictures with the boy. I'll try to get some posted tonight or tomorrow.

Besides time away from home, I've really been trying to learn more about Buddhism. I have been referring to myself as a Buddhist for awhile now but I think I should learn more if I'm going to continue doing that. :) Basically, it speaks to me and helps me define who I am as well as who I want to become. Nothing wrong with that, right? Along the way I just have this one other little task: writing my dissertation!

So, I just wanted to write a brief post so the 3 people who read this blog didn't think I was gone for months again! I also have to go because the little man just found the remote control to the television and is flipping between C-SPAN and Animal Planet, neither of which I've watched in some time! I'm so glad he's mobile now, but there is a certain comfort level when he's not able to move very much. Now he's watching Jessica Simpson in an acne medication commercial. Oh no...it's starting already...doh! ;)
