ESK and I took a weekend trip to Seattle while SK was at a conference in Chicago. I was reunited with an old college friend I hadn't seen in six or seven years. She also happens to have a 13-month-old son, so it was great for them to "play" together and for the two of us to catch up.
It wasn't fun driving up there however. We started out right after lunch on Friday, but with traffic and a lengthy pit stop to stretch ESK's legs, we got into Seattle at 4:30. Not terrible, but it was stressful to think at at any moment, ESK could have a meltdown in the backseat. We got through with just one 20 minute cry session. Whew...
Anyway, the other fun thing about the weekend was getting Elise doggy-trained. We have a ton of dogs in our apartment building and while she's curious and points, she doesn't like it when they start to sniff her or lick her. But there was no avoiding the canine curiosity this weekend because my girlfriend has two dogs. By Sunday, she was giggling when they stopped to give her "kisses".
No, Seriously
As I look back on my previous posts, I realize I write only the good, fun stories. Y'all must think I live some kind of charmed life. Skiing, Seattle, hanging out at home with the little one....
I do have thoughts that go deeper than "is ESK's diaper dirty?"... But I usually forget to write about them. Will have to do a better job of being more serious/interesting/important.

What? You, have serious thoughts? No way! Glad you made it back home in one piece.
wow... each time i hear of your "charmed life's" traveling adventures, i am amazed and also inspired. i want to take a trip by myself with N to queens one of these days, but i'm terrified of the traffic and the boy's horrible dislike of car rides...
whether you know it or not, even your so-called un-interesting posts are interesting to me. :) just keep 'em coming. :)
i just posted some pics from esk's dol. she is so cute! i want more updates with pictures! as for serious stuff.. who needs it? i can't seem to write anything but. and even then, i want to delete my posts a few days later. ha! but we do need to catch up.
I love your fun and light stories! I bet you'd write very good serious and important stuff but whenever you have the time and energy...
