Our computer has a potentially terminal illness. I feel very depressed about it - like someone I love has died. This probably means I have a slight Internet addiction problem.
Blogging from my iPhone is going to be tough.

Playdate with the Eichs
Tuesday, Claire and I drove up to CT to visit with the Eich ladies for the day. Connor was at camp, although we did get to see him for a little bit before we headed home.
The girls get along so well and played cheerfully together all day. Getting photos of them playing together is nearly impossible though. Leyla is walking, and she does not like to sit still.
Claire was ready for pictures
As quickly as Leyla came over
she was off again
we thought Woody might keep them both occupied in one place for more than a hot second
but we were wrong

Finally
Claire willingly ate some solids on Thursday and even more enthusiastically yesterday. Apples did the trick, so now we're moving back to veggies. Peas and sweet potatoes are next.

Start 'em Young
that's our motto - at least when it comes to wine tasting.
Saturday was a beautiful day. We drove west about 45 minutes to Cava Winery in Hamburg, NJ.
Claire was excited. She wanted Panda to enjoy the experience too.
While Jason and I tasted wine, Claire tasted the napkins.
Their method of wine tasting was a little unorthodox. They sold flights instead of tasting at the bar. Whatevs - as long as we get to sip.
This particular weekend offered barrel tastings, something Jason and I had never done before. The man in the black shirt is Anthony, the owner and wine maker at Cava.
Claire looks cheerful here, but that's because I was holding her. She insisted on being held about half way through, and only by me. I can assure you that shortly before this picture was taken, she was making a scene.
Once we went outside for a shared glass and some cheese, salami and crackers, Claire got Sophie in on the action and had LOADS of fun playing with the pebbles.

So
I have felt LESS than motivated to blog the last few months.
It isn't because I feel like our new life is less glamorous than our London years - well, I mean, it is less glamorous. But it's not less interesting - it's just different.
I knew from looking at traffic on the blog that hardly anyone was reading it anymore (as confirmed by the small number of people who requested an invite) Concocting long blog posts with pictures and witty commentary is time consuming, and the need to simply get caught up on house chores after Claire goes to bed is time consuming too. Plus, being a new mommy is TOUGH, and the thought of blogging at the end of the day did not interest me at all.
That being said, I always enjoyed looking back through our London blog, and I know that down the road I'll appreciate being able to look back on this blog too. So, I'm rededicating myself.
