The grass is always greener in Vermont

I write these sad lines on the runway of Burlington International Airport, as we wait. Rain, rain, rain is the theme of the last week or so here in Vermont, and it won't let me go it seems as we wait, again, for the rain to pass so the plane can fly. That said, wow.....it sure is green here!

Adam and I passed a leisurely week + a few days with his family at their farm, Hyde Away, in Vermont. It is currently the third wettest summer on record, which makes for raging rivers, lush greenery, and jungled gardens. We had a wonderful time, even making it up to Montreal for a day to enjoy a tea shop, bagels, and the required stop at Schwarz's smoked meat counter.

Several of our friends who are somewhat local to the area, as well as some extended Rosenblooms who were close at hand, joined us for a baby shower. And it showered, and showered, and showered! We painted onezies, ate tasty treats, received henna tattoos, and even watched a birth movie. Our kind of party.



I sit here on the run way waiting to go to NYC, Adam has already flown west and spent a night of debauchery with friends in Las Vegas. We will reconvene for a brunch with friends in NYC on Sunday before heading later that day to Israel, via Rome. So, there is more to come of our adventures this summer but I wanted to post some of the baby shower pictures here for your viewing. Yes, I am getting bigger by day and this wee one is a tad bit antsy as it doesn't stay still for long! Eightish more weeks to go until we meet it, and I am enjoying the last few weeks of round, full Sera before I become an official member of the Mothering Tribe.

There are a few other images compliments of our wedding photographer, Orah Moore, and a one year wedding anniversary gift from the Rosenblooms. It was really fun! Hope you enjoy them, and the glamor that pregnancy CAN be.

Enjoy the pics, and more to come soon!
