And we're off


well, more accurately, i'm off. i'm going away tomorrow for a yoga immersion and will be away from home for a full 36 hours without sabine. this will be my first overnight since she was born. (Ack!) i am feeling both excitement and nerves. i'll be staying in a hotel and i told max i might spend an hour in the tub that night. i truly might .. and then go to bed by 8 pm. (or watch cable tv all night, who knows). i just can't believe that she'll be 11 months tomorrow and that i'm not going to see them for 36 hours. i guess though this is practice for november. then i'm going to be away for a full WEEK! how will i survive??

and in other news. how do you like our new freecycled backpack? i love facebook sometimes. i put on my status that i needed recommendations for a backpack and one materialized just for us. while sabine LOVES the sling still. max and my shoulders and hips can't handle the weight (16.8 ozs this week) for long stretches. so i asked for suggestions and got quite a few different things to look into. was all about to start that process when a few days later one of our friends said they had a frame backpack in their garage and they were all done using it.... ours if we wanted it. so this afternoon i drove over and picked it up. the photo is from our first run trying it in the park. sabine was unsure for about 10 seconds then was all smiles once she realized how much fun it would be to ride on my back. i think my hips, spine, shoulders, and every part in between will be thanking the family that shared it with us for a LONG time to come.
have a great weekend everyone!
