“Don’t eat ALL the banana bread while I’m gone.”
— John, as he was walking out the door to go play hockey. How does he read my mind like that?

John won an all-expenses paid trip to St Thomas because he is super awesome at his job. The trip includes his spouse. That would be me. Yay, right?
WRONG.
The trip is in April. Just after Charlotte makes her appearance. So we can’t go. And he doesn’t get anything in lieu of not taking the trip.
However…….
Charlotte > A trip to St Thomas.
How cute are these two? Watching TV together on Friday night.
32 weeks 3 days pregnant.
I finished reading True Colors by Kristin Hannah today - I finished it inside a week. I read one of her books last year (Firefly Lane) and I remember feeling the same way about both books. That she isn’t a great writer, has average character development, uses annoyingly cliche phrases throughout and yet she weaves together a saga that make her books unputtdownable.
If you are looking for a ‘beach read’ then I would recommend her books. It takes very little brain power to digest but you will enjoy them.
Does anyone ever move to New York and stay forever?
Unfortunately, I’m beginning to think my love affair with New York is on its last legs.
The question is, where do we go next? It’s a question we are having a hard time answering. We don’t need to answer it any time soon because our jobs currently keep us anchored in New York. But it doesn’t stop me from wondering….
Emily just sent me this photo from last weekend after our brunch at Isabellas. It was freeeeeeeeeezing last weekend so we are all rugged up.
We received an influx of goodies from Canada this week. More handknitted goodies! This little cardigan and matching hat was knitted by John’s grandmother. She sadly passed away just over a year ago - read about her here. John’s Aunt found the cardigan and hat just waiting for a new little bundle of joy in the family. I’m so glad Charlotte will have a little something from her great-grandmother. The matching blanket was knitted by John’s Aunt Chrissy. Who needs Etsy when you have a family of talented knitters!

And I just have to show you this. A little sheep coat, complete with ears on the hood and a little tail. A pressie from Charlotte’s Auntie Jean. The package was actually addressed to Baby Girl which made me smile! Lots of thank yous being sent across the border to Canada!

I have a hair appointment next weekend. I’m for sure going with the ‘above the shoulder’ cut this time.
I’m really loving short hair these days.
