Oh, well, the vacation was nice while it lasted. Short, but nice.

As usual, I have kind of a holiday hangover meloncholy. I get a bit bummed when the holidays and my vacation are over.

But this year, things were different. Hayes is here and he’s really lifted my mood.

After spending a few days with my parents while Jen and I headed to visit my sister and fiance in NYC, and then having guests for New Years eve, Hayes has seen lots of people over the last week. And he’s gotten alot of attention. So, a few hours after my sister, her fiance, and a some friends left yesterday, Hayes put it all in perspective.

“Bye bye, ebreebody!” Hayes said, waving toward the door. “Gonna play with Mama and Dada now!”

Yup. And we’re most thankful about being able to play with you, too, Hayes.
