Random Thoughts (its a long one...).

By whattheharry - 3:08 PM
Today is Easter Sunday.  First Easter with Max.  Not sure if its me still feeling like I need to 'catch-up' from when I was traveling, but I wasnt all that thrilled about this holiday.  (in its defense, it is ranked #3, after Christmas and Halloween)I did get Max an Easter basket, and filled it with goodies.  He seemed to enjoy the plastic eggs. ...

Eleven months.

By whattheharry - 1:58 PM
Dear Max,You are now well into your eleven month, and approaching a year here shortly.  I have been a bit emotional about this milestone.  I cant help be excited for you for all the things that are to come, but I am missing the itty bitty you I met almost one year ago. I traveled to Budapest Hungary for work, which meant I left you...

Quality Time.

By whattheharry - 2:11 PM
Since being home from my trip, I've been consumed with Max.  I cant get enough of him.  He has changed so much since I had left.  He's taking a few steps, he's more communicative and even started saying 'ma-ma'. I know he is bored with the baby toys in the house and only wants to get into the cabinets.  I am holding out until his birthday to give him new age-appropriate toys. ...

Let the diet begin.

By whattheharry - 11:51 PM
Seriously.  I need to drop a few 'l-b's'.  According to the medical standards, my BMI is in the Obese category.  Now, if  you see me, I am surely not anywhere near the obese.  However, the extra baggage I have in my mid-section does need to go. After consuming ten days of heavy, rich, flavorful food that was heavenly! (i'll give that to the hungarians,...

Decisions.

By whattheharry - 12:38 AM
What to do on a balmy Sunday afternoon?  Laundry? Or take a stroll?  Hmmm....Laundry got trumped.  We went for a stroll along the Riverwalk in downtown Naperville.  A little bit windy, but fresh air felt good on someone's feet.  And on Mommy's face!  ...

End of chapter.

By whattheharry - 10:26 PM
I'm home now.  Been home for close to 36 hours.  I love it.  I love being with Max.  I love getting to experience our nighttime routine.  I love getting to feed him, to hug him, to hold him (even in the urgent care as soon as I got home).  I missed him more than I knew. When I was in Budapest, I felt empty...

When Mommy's away...

By whattheharry - 7:38 PM

Well, apparently its going over just fine.  Its almost as if I dont exist...Looks as if he his having a GRAND time!  That makes me feel good. ps - poor Tyler, having a heck of a time with his molars...seeing he...

Budapest, Hungary.

By whattheharry - 1:46 AM
So I am trying to make the most of my time here.  I got up this morning and set out on foot to see a few things in the city.  I enjoy this city, dont feel so out of place, like a tourist (though with my Vera Bradley bag I stick out like a sore thumb!).  Here are some shots so far from...
