I always feel sort of sad after visitors leave. After a fun-filled weekend of conversation and laughter, our apartment just feels empty. And quiet. Quiet except for Alice, of course. I think that I so look forward to having guests in town that, when they leave, I feel a bit lonely. Like now I need something else to anticipate. Something else to look forward to.
So to help squash those lonesome feelings, Alice and I are having lunch with another first-time mom and her adorable baby boy this afternoon. A delicious lunch, some mommy talk and an afternoon beer will certainly help me feel better.
And then I can start looking forward to and anticipating my sister coming to visit in just a few short weeks!
Alice and I can hardly wait.

Cute picture of Alice and Grandpa Glen. He is looking more like his dad (Greatgrandpa Glen). Hope Alice had a great time getting to know her name sake. There is always a bit of a let down after visitors leave. Especially since you live on the east coast and they live on the west coast. Maybe sometime in your future, you will get a chance to move closer to family. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!! KPT is coming to visit!! Alice is adorable, and I love when you put up pictures of her!! I hope you end up staying in Boston for a while... we are looking at Portland Maine and would be SO close to you guys!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It took several weeks for me to adjust after saying goodbye to my friends and family in the united states.
ReplyDeleteI keep begging people to visit me! The cost is a bit prohibitive, though.
I hope you had fun on your mommy-date! :)
