Ups and Downs

This week was a perfect example of how day to day can be a mix of highs and lows. After spending last weekend in DC, we have been laying low at home trying to get into a comfortable groove before we run off again. Elisa has been running a lowgrade fever on and off for a couple of days and this morning it turned to a slight cough which I'm hoping goes away as fast as it came on. Nacho has 4 days off starting tomorrow (Saturday through Tuesday) so we're planning a weekend full of family time and a brief trip out to Montauk in eastern Long Island. For several years we've heard great things about the sleepy fishing town turned hot spot, but never made it out there. In fact, I don't think I've been much further than the IKEA in Hicksville so this will be a real treat. I love the idea of exploring close to home and being able to see a place when it's not clogged with summertime tourists. The weather doesn't look like it will be too warm, but if the sun promises to shine, I think we'll be okay. We've had a couple of gorgeous days this week with lots of sun including yesterday. We were at the park all morning long with some of our friends from playgroup and I am looking forward to more of those as May brings even warmer temps.

The rain and cold this afternoon and evening was enough to keep us inside and inspire me to bake and cook. Nothing like having the oven on to spread some warmth and make the house smell good. Here we are before bedtime reading some books after dancing around like fools. Hopefully Elisa's fever will stay away tonight and give us a good start to the weekend. Let's hope anyway.
