Blissed Out

What a lovely day today was! Talia flew down to my sister's in Irvine this morning with Bubba (my mom) and I am so proud of her for being so brave in leaving us for 2 nights and 3 days! What a big girl! I left Minna with Phulam (our relatively new nanny) and went to swim laps with Jason. We had a lovely lunch at O'Chame on 4th Street -YUM! and then I had a wonderfully amazing facial and after that, an indulgent mint pedicure. Wow! I wouldn't be able to indulge like this without the generous and thoughtful gifts from my family and friends. It is amazing how relaxed and stress free I feel this evening. I came home to the happiest Minna I've seen in weeks. She and Phulam seemed to have really bonded today and she even walked for her and took a bottle (both things she really only does in the presence of people she feels really comfortable with). Minna and I had a terrific evening together and I was able to give her my undivided attention. I read her a ton of books and spent a long time giving her a bath. I am amazed at how much I am soaking in all the little things in life....

More to come!

  2. Hi Jen! I saw your little Talia at school on Friday. She looked so happy and cute!

    I getting up early tomorrow to race in honor of you. I tried to make my gigantic t-shirt into something smaller but it didn't really work out too well. It was quite a mess. I will let you know the results.

    So glad you are getting pampered. You out of all people deserve it. xoxo
