opa!

This past weekend was gorgeous, which makes up for the crappy, rainy weather we've had this week, and we headed out to a Greek Festival down the street from us. It was fantastic, although the WHOLE lamb on a spit was enough to turn my stomach just a little. I am not, and could never be a vegetarian, but that was tough to look at. Mr. F and I indulged in some homemade baklava and mousaka, which is eggplant and mashed potatoes with ground beef. Its DELICIOUS!! And of course, Aidan was looking adorable in a blue and white seersucker outfit that shows off his delightfully chunky baby thighs and the old Greek ladies loved it :)

Its hard to believe my first week of work is over already...only 11 more to go till I become unemployed again, and that stinks! However, in the last few days I've had several experiences that affirm my career choice and I'm so excited to get into my field in a professional capacity. I can honestly say this is the first time I'm excited about my job, or at least future jobs (cause how much fun can an intern really have? :) Today I got to sit in on a committee meeting and not only did I understand all of the jargon, but I understood the legislation and theory behind the decisions being made. So I did learn something useful in school, after all! Plus the people I work with are very nice and most of us happen to be graduates of the same program in different years. Finally, taking the Little Man to day care has been super tough and I'm having mommy guilt like crazy. I mean, he was already going 3 days a week and that was good because I was able to get critical things, like grocery shopping, done. But now I miss him sooo much and feel bad that he's gone all day. I know he likes it and is getting great social interaction and we feel comfortable with the staff, but still... And to top off the working mom experience, I get to close the door twice a day and pump in the office! I bet they never had an intern with a breast pump before! Its a little awkward for me, but we're trying to keep Aidan on breast milk in addition to veggies and fruit and a little formula here and there until he's a year old. Plus, I'm just not ready to stop nursing.

This weekend we're heading to MD for some mini-family reunion fun and its Aidan's first overnight somewhere other than his grandparents. Keep your fingers crossed it goes well...this is a mini test for our upcoming TX trip for an other side of the family mini reunion!
