Social Butterfly

A very social weekend filled with friends and babies. Jack and I went to a holiday market with some friends from the building (and their son Ben, 1 day younger than Jack) then met my friend Abby for sort of brunch (and her daughter Calliope, 1 month younger than Jack) then saw my friends from Peace Corps (and their daughter Astrid, one month older than Jack) and then went to Cousin Caolan and Paul's holiday caroling party (many children, all older than Jack)

He was pretty mellow for all of it. I'm glad I got some good time in with him since this is the last (hopefully) of the crazy work weeks and I saw him for a grand total of like 2 hours today, which sucked. But I gotta keep my eye on the prize and just get to Saturday, after which it will be infinitely more mellow. But I realize how good I've had it being able to work from home, since going into the office for 9 hours really was not very delightful. I also find, oddly enough, that I get way more work done at home. I don't know if it's not having the distraction of other people around, or the fact that I'm in my own space, or if I work quicker so I can pop over and see the little man but I'm definitely better from home.

Some pics from the weekend, including one where Caolan tries to read Jack a graphic novel (which he was totally interested in!)
