"You okay?"

This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to London to visit my very bestest friend, LT!  Laurie just moved to London at the beginning of February and this weekend was her birthday, so a girls weekend was scheduled.  I had never been to London before, and it is a lovely city.  To me, it felt like a combination of New York and Seattle---very big city, with lots of friendly, young, hip people.  There was a definite big city hustle and bustle, especially on the Tube, but people always take a moment to ask, "You okay?" which at first caught me really off guard.  When the first person asked me, "You okay?", I was like, "Yeah, are you okay?" but then I realized that it is the same as saying "How are you?" or "What's going on?"

While I was in London Jacob and Hersh had their first official 'Abba/Hershel Weekend.'  Everything at home went really well and they enjoyed being together.  Jacob did a wonderful job caring for Hersh.  By the time I came home on Tuesday morning, everyone was ready for some Imma love, and I think that Jacob now has a better understanding of what taking care of a baby, a household, and a husband entails.  He told me that the hardest part of the weekend, was the constant cleaning up, both after Hersh and himself.

Yesterday, Hersh and I hosted the VBC, which is our baby playgroup.  It was so much fun to have such sweet babies and parents at out house!  Everyone was here when Hersh woke up from his morning nap and the look on his face was very quizzical, and said something to the effect of, "You all weren't here when I went to sleep, right?"  Everyone had a great time and Hersh was more than happy to share his toys.

Today, Hersh and I are off to schwimmen, where it is picture day.  I think that this means that they will take a photo of him under the water--should be interesting!

In other Hersh related news, he turned 10 months old!  It is so crazy how quickly time is passing and soon, he will be a year old!  We did take his 10 month portrait, as per usual, but it is getting harder and harder to get the shot, as he no longer sits and stares at us, allowing us to take our time getting the shot.  Below you will find a sampling of pictures.

Hope that March is off to a great start for everyone and that spring is in the air!
