In a meeting, I looked out the window and remembered when trees had leaves...

Today is Adrian and my 1 year anniversary (as well as Obama's). And while many are pointing out the short comings of this past year...on this winter day, I prefer to remember summer evenings. Adrian would come home from work, and I was still on leave. We had time to eat something and take a walk on Castle Island before the sun completely set. Though I do remember how quickly the sun seemed to fade. I wanted to make the most of everyday when all my time was mine-but I waited for Adrian to do something as a family. Who would have thought that while I was off work, I would still watch the clock for 5:00pm? But a new baby comes with work and recovery better handled together.

Amira was possibly the most interested in this game of Trivial Pursuit. She sat in Adrian's lap watching the rest of us toss the dice and listened to us hem and haw before finally guessing an answer.
