Back to Work Week

tim and supriya came up for their and jackie's 10 year law school reunion. the food was amazing at the st. francis (at least when we finally got down to michael minna and i got a lovely tuna tartare! hannah stayed home with matt the manny. supriya's looking fab and due in jan! tim's just lookin fab.

well it's been a week of commuting all together and the 3 of us are still talking to each other, so that's a good sign of things to come!
hannah caught another cold her first week back which unfortunately has manifested itself in several ways

• she was having a bit of trouble eating as she couldn't breath through her nose
• she wound up swallowing quite a bit of mucous which led to several bouts of excorist like vomiting, which combined with her throaty breathing was very horror film like
• she promptly gave it to mom and dad and while dad got over it pretty quickly mom is still suffering and drinking thera-flu cocktails

she has not missed a day of daycare, however and she has bounced back pretty well. we just need to get mom better now.

i got very warm welcomes back at work from everyone. a lot of folks couldn't believe it had been 3 months since i left. a lot was accomplished while i was out and the general consensus is that work will slow down considerably upon my return.

it's been great to to be able to check in on hannah from time to time. today i happened to get there just as she was starting a bottle, so i fed her and put her down for a nap. we sometimes fear that since hannah is so low maintenance she will not get as much attention as the um, er, louder kids. i go back and forth on this one as i love it that she can entertain herself, especially in the morning which can get me an extra 15 minutes of snooze time after jackie feeds her and heads to the shower.
