A long month

I’ve been on maternity leave since March 18. Piper Elise Barnes-Marra was born that day at 2:55 p.m. She was 8 lbs, 10 oz. and 21 inches long.

It was rough at first, but we’ve settled into a pretty good routine. Not sure how easy it’ll be to adjust to work again, but we’ll figure it out. I return to work on May 8.

During my time off I’ve taken in a lot of movies. Most of them are for the classes I’m taking this semester. I’ve been really enjoying our HD channels through Dish. The HD Movie channel is really nice. Lots of interesting films and they look great.

And now that spring is here I am really looking forward to tending the garden again. I mowed the grass Saturday and it was a lot of fun to ride around and trim up the yard. Not sure I’ll feel the same way in August, but it is fun now. :)

more alter…baby’s crying!

    Just wanted to comment that I also have a Piper Elise. She is now 6 years old. I love her name (obviously) and most people do as well. Congrats on your own little Piper E.
