Hi everybody! I'm back. Tino's sitting on my lap while I catch up on celebrity gossip and such. I was so happy to have my baby at home last night! He slept snuggled up between Bryan and me all night.

Bryan and I made some good memories in Florida. It was nice for us to get away from the daily grind for a while. The girls all seemed to have a lot of fun at Disney World and at competition.

I dreaded returning to work all week because of the great mound of grant writing waiting for me... but I got a ton of it finished today. NEA is now about 95% complete and OAC about 85%. Bryan came to my office this evening and helped me pack all my stuff into boxes, so all the work I'd been dreading is behind me now. We're about to go out for margaritas to celebrate.

Being in Florida made me crave spring. I prefer the seasons of change, autumn and spring rather than winter and summer. I'm ready for some good changes, some blooming and growing.

Happy to be back!
