I’m back from paradise, tanned (or ever so slightly less pasty) and relaxed (or perhaps at least vaguely less stressed out). Due to another crappy doctor’s report the day before we were scheduled to fly out we really weren’t sure we’d be able to go, but after much conferencing we hopped on a plane and I’m happy to report that the whole family survived the trip unscathed, even the fetus. My mom got married, we spent a lot of time by the pool, and everyone drank their weight in vodka. Except for me. Boo hiss.
I’m having some issues re acclimating to the time zone, by which I mean that I would prefer to spend the entire day lazing in bed and catching up on tv, so don’t expect any fabulous decor related news today (although I have been changing some stuff up, so expect many pleas for help later in the week). Mostly I just wanted to drop in and say, Hey — I’m ok.

And also to point out that Ike is angling to become captain of the croquet world.
Fun times were had by all.
See you dudes tomorrow!

Hi Erin,
I went on a self-imposed blog-reading hiatus for several months and just stopped by to see your take on Round Top/Warrenton, only to learn about your pregnancy woes. So sorry to hear what you’re going through. I’m sure you’re getting a steady feed of encouragement and reassurance from experienced moms who also follow you. I will add my prayers for you but also wanted to say, WHAT WAS I THINKING, giving up a regular dose of edited eye candy not available since Domino went under AND hysterico-snarky-pathos filled writing? I’m glad to be back and to see that your sense of humor is keeping you going.
Yay! You’re OK! Glad you had fun. Ike looks pretty relaxed himself. Welcome home.
Phew! I’m glad you’re okay. I was actually wondering just today if you survived your trip. Take your time adjusting . . . we’ll be around! Cutest croquet player ever!
Glad to hear it lady!
Yay, you made it there and back! Ike is the cutest and getting so big. Take your time and rest up!
He’s so big! I’m so glad you got to go. Even without the vodka, it must have been good to get your vacay-On.
Hey — glad you’re ok!
Cheers to Mom!
