Daddy, Mommy, Baby

Love the way 2 1/2 year olds look at the world.  Mac had visited a pumpkin patch earlier in the day with Jamette, his ‘other mother’, and an amazing part of our family, and at dinner when he was in his high chair he spotted the three pumpkins sitting on the kitchen counter and cried, “Oh, Daddy, Mommy, Baaaabbbby!  A family!” and I loved it.  Love how he thinks and associates and all the funny things he says.

Tomorrow Ty and I fly out to London and then overnight in Windsor, grab a fly Thursday morning to Venice, and then on Sunday grab another flight to Dublin, and then one more flight to London for a few days before coming home.  Lots of flying about but travel is huge for me.  It’s how I unplug and fill that creative well.  I will be returning to my desk November 1st to work on the second book in my Brennan Sisters trilogy (as well as tackling any and all necessary revisions on book 1) and so I need to chill while I can because I’ve lots of work to do when I get home.

So glad though that Meg’s book is done and in.  Now I just need to finish packing!  I’ll try to check in from the road but if I can’t, have a great ten days and sending you lots of love!

  6. Enjoy your honeymoon!!! You deserve it!

    That is so darling! When my daughter was around two she identified everything and organized things as “Daddy, Mommy, Baby”. Once my sister took her to have dinner at a family friends and they thought it was so adorable that she named the sticks of butter Daddy, Mommy and Baby!

    I can’t believe he is already that old. Every age & stage is enjoyable!

    Take care and relax!!!!
    XOXOXOXO

  9. Jane, children think such innocent little thoughts. They are all so different and beautiful. Wish you and Ty luck with the traveling. Enjoy yourselves you two deserve it.

  10. Totally agree with you, as adults we take life too seriously. At times, we should be like a kid and just let go and have fun (within limits).

    Sometimes, kids have the most fun and we should join them too..=)

  11. To quote Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies. God be with you. Come home safe and sound.
    I would just add, Have fun!
