It was a good day. A busy day. Harper was on a nap strike. That was not so helpful. Keegan had spent the night at my parents' again and that was helpful. We did a lot beforehand but somehow still managed to have a lot going on during. It would help if I had two ovens and way more counter space and a caterer. But everyone seemed to have fun, enjoy the food and get enough to eat. Jeff packed up the leftovers and I am kind of scared to see the fridge. Jeff has some mystery injury to his finger but no idea how he got it. My back is screaming at me for standing up too much. But it was a lovely day and just the incentive we needed to get the house together. And I totally appreciate the hosts of any event even more now.

Alisa. 37. New Hampshire. Married for two years to this wonderful, funny, smart guy. Previously married. Went through in-vitro fertilization to have my four and a half year old magical son Keegan. Stepmother to the charming Isabelle (5). Gushingly in love with our baby boy Harper(born June 10). Policy Wonk and dreaded bureaucrat. Lover of fine cuisine, honeybees, truly romantic moments and the underdog.
