Yay, I got to see my cousin Elza in San Francisco where she lives and is finishing her Masters Degree...yes, every single relative on the Poulakos side of the family has at least a Master's Degree except for me, oh and Ariana who just turned 19? No worries I am getting plenty of expereince in the wine industry which I find just a bit more interesting than academics, to each his own, right? It was a short visit with Elza, but fun nonetheless, we met up with her boyfriend and his friends at a nice dinner? But it was 3:00 PM and there were party favors on the table, oh wait was this a wedding? I felt bad crashing a wedding celebration with only 7 poeple I didnt know but Elza assured me it was fine since it was a staged wedding for the young groom who needed a green card...glad I could be a part of that. Well Elza, will it be another few years before we meet again?
My first trip away from baby Jonas, oh was I excited and nervous all the same. By the third day there I had to remind myself I had a baby, just kidding!! It was so fun to get away and not be in mommy mode for awhile...and not sleep with a baby monitor on...and not wash bottles, change diapers and all that we mommies do everyday without giving it much thought. By day 5 I was missing him terribly! Will did great on his own, Jonas even slept through the night the first night to cut Daddy some slack. Then Jonas had his first overnight at Yia Yia's where he had a blast. He really wore himself out there playing with the puppies and crawling around their house...he had some serious square-footage to cover there!
These are a few of the girls from work being silly outside of Hess Collection Winery.
This was on top of Mount Veeder in Napa Valley...so beautiful out there!
