Merry Christmas!
This morning I went out for a couple hours by myself, leaving Audrey at home with Matt. As I walked down the stairs I kept feeling like I was forgetting something, but after checking my bag twice I realized that what I was feeling like I was missing was Audrey. I’ve so rarely been without her any time in the past five months that I felt very strange going out alone. It will definitely be a huge adjustment going back to work in a month. I am looking forward to being at work again, but I know I will be pretty devastated to leave Audrey all day.

Audrey went to her first library conference today, at only 3 1/2 months old! I’m so proud.
Also, my table talk went very well. Lots of good feedback and people seemed very interested.
My little devil!

Last night we carved pumpkins while it snowed (!) all evening.
I never thought something as simple as someone else rolling over could be so exciting.
Three months in, one of the cats finally decided to try the bouncer. Matt wouldn’t let me turn on the vibration feature while Morris was in there though.
Experimenting with Tumblr…
