A Few Updates

Found out today that I am only allowed to take up to 6 months for personal leave, so it looks like I'll be back at work sooner than I wanted to be! I'll be going back in August, date still to be confirmed. My calculations given to me by HR would put my 6 month leave to Aug 15, but they have calculated Aug 11. New person in HR...figures! At any rate, I should know for sure my start date some time next week.

So, I won't be putting Jack in daycare on Monday. YEAH!!!!!!!

But, not happy about having to go back in Aug. Oh well, I have stayed out for 10 months with him, so I can't complain too much. Just pains me to know I won't be able to spend any time with him until I get home from work. But I know he'll make new friends in daycare and will probably love it after he has adjusted to his new schedule.

Our next trip is right around the corner. We leave for Italy Aug 30 for two weeks. We are flying into Naples, then staying at a villa in Positano. After a week there, we will then fly from Naples to Milan; driving up to Lake Como. Our villa is in Menaggio. We are really looking forward to this trip. Our villa on Lake Como has a pool, so little Jack will get to some splashing around with us!

In October, for our anniversary and my birthday, we are going to France. We found this fantastic cottage in the Loire Valley. It certainly depicts the French countryside. We'll be staying there for a week. The Loire Valley is home to french white wines and chateaux.

Then our next big trip is the Alps; probably in late January. Still working on that trip. Not sure where we are going yet....

Jack's doing great. Over his cold. No new teeth yet, but he is definitely teething. The little one is drooling and sucking on everything he gets his hands on. We had to cancel his appointment with his health visitor this past Tuesday. The lady he sees was out sick, so we are going next Tuesday. We'll get him weighed and measured then.

Well, have a great weekend. The weather looks promising here. Been sunny and 70 today. Getting Jack out in town later. Probably have dinner out. We usually have pizza on Friday....yummy.

Love
