A Polish Vacation

I really am a lousy blogger. I seriously have to work on that
because when I don't blog I'm always sub-consciously stressed that
I should be blogging. So here I am, on vacation in Europe and still
can't seem to free myself of the guilt of not blogging. Well, I
suppose it's only a semi-vacation since I brought a full suitcase
of supplies for sewing hats! And I'm blogging.
I was very anxious about traveling with my almost-15-month-old but really should have know better: that child of mine really is heaven-sent ... she is just the easiest baby EVER ... and I have babysat/nannied/watched more than my fair share of children, so I should know.
During our 9 hour flight she slept
about 6 1/2 hours! And the rest of the time she was happy to sit
either on my lap or in her little bassinet chair. Of the following
hour and a half flight, she slept an hour and then about 3 hours of
our 4 hour drive! (I have a feeling some of you reading this will
be tempted to use some interesting words towards me right about now
- it's okay, I won't be offended, I suppose I can't have it all.
*smile* ... and no, I did not drug her - at all!)
It has been so wonderful to visit with family and have them all meet my little Izabelle. I just really wish that this 'birth land' of mine wasn't so far from my 'home land'. Everytime I come here I am reminded how much I really miss it here. I miss the small towns, the beautiful rolling hills covered with colorful wildflowers, the amazing taste of dairy products, the country roads, and of course, family. But for now, I will cherish each day and enjoy every moment that I have here right now.
