Grateful audience of one

It's been a while since my last post. Davis, John and I have just been enjoying life together as a family. Our big adventure of the weekend was a wedding! Our friends Bill and Sonya were married in a very small ceremony at a local park followed by a fantastic lunch at Oleana in Cambridge. John and I had never been there before, but the food was fabulous. Technically, we were the wedding photographers, but we didn't do a very good job of capturing much once the food came out. However, I did take lots of pictures of the beautiful cake that Sonya made. Davis and I 'helped' with the cake on Friday, which involved me holding Davis while we watched Sonya and Bill make the cake. Here's a picture of the cake from above. It was three tiers with sugared rose petals and a rose top.


On Sunday we went to the Farmer's market in Harvard square and then stopped in to see our friends Josh, Courtney and Mack (who was napping). The new development (and the reason for the title of the post) is that last night we discovered Davis enjoys my guitar playing and singing. His enjoyment outlasted my ability to play. I seem to always pick up the guitar for a bit, just enough to get back to where I was in proficiency, and then inevitably I drop it again (and lose the required callouses). Perhaps, now that it's entertainment for Davis, I'll play enough to finally get better!

The other big news of the week is that Grammie comes in on Wednesday night and I officially begin working again on Thursday. The term official is loose for a couple of reasons, 1) I've been working when Davis naps for the last month and 2) I still plan to take off some time during the week for things like mommy-baby yoga (today). It's funny how now that we have some good moms and babies to hang out with and I will no longer be able to hang out. I'm still torn between being sad for having a lot less time with Davis and my excitement over getting back to my work and finishing it off (not to mention having conversations with adults that doesn't revolve around babies). I wonder how long the latter feeling will last once I'm back.
