Saturday we went and got Maya's booster shot taken care of and then cleared our schedules for home cleaning. For the first time, the house was really and truly clean. Around dinnertime, Pat rolled in from VT. We enjoyed hot bacon dressing over spinach salad, then spanikopita, and finally peach cobbler ala mode. In betweeen courses was our first house tour... it's pretty short but lots to see and share, which was way more fun that 511 or 409B.

This morning we all got up early, had waffles, and Pat got underway. Shortly after he left, we followed, piling into the truck for a trip to cb2 in New York. It's so awesome that we can just take a Sunday afternoon and go shopping for housewares in Soho - this was a huge part of the reason we chose the Lehigh Valley and it feels especially fun to take advantage. It's also really awesome to be back at home, where it is dark and quiet, after spending the afternoon in Manhattan.
