Half Changed World

Sorry for the long gap in posts, and thanks to those who posted or emailed to make sure I was ok.  Actually, I was better than ok — my parents took the boys for a week, and T and I headed off to Spain for a slightly early 10th anniversary trip.  I didn’t mean to worry anyone, but didn’t want to advertise to the whole internet that we were away from home.

We spent two nights in Madrid, one in Toledo, and three in Barcelona, and had an absolutely wonderful time.  We walked all over the place, ate ourselves silly, explored the sites, and had conversations that lasted more than two minutes without interruption.  I took a lot of photos, and have put a few up on Flickr with more to follow as I get the chance to edit them.

It’s the first time we’ve been away from the boys for more than a weekend since D was born, so we were a little nervous.  When my parents headed out with them, I expected to feel liberated, but actually felt a bit bereft.  But by the time we got on our airplane, we were relaxing and having a good time.  We called twice to check in on them, and the boys had to be pried away from their activities to say hi to us.  My parents said that they were a lot of fun and didn’t give them too much trouble at bedtime, etc.  Their only complaint was the constant level of noise.

In other news, I met Leslie Morgan Steiner, D graduated from preschool, and I became an aunt.  More details to follow…
