hello from Sunday night, and a goodbye

Hi everyone!
Well, what a surprise weekend.
We have a new family member. Please meet Asher Neal Roth, my brand new grandson, baby Mega.

As his wonderful mother Chantal says, Megababy decided he wanted to be a Pisces and not an Aries like he was supposed to be.

Lucky for us. We’re so in love.

And, lucky for Chloe because Chloe is leaving on Wednesday for Japan and will be away for 6 months and up to a year.

Chloe’s already had a giant going away party with her friends, which lasted till 4am as only 20-something parties can last, but this weekend we had an open house for the rest of us who know the value of our sleep! And had some friends and family stop by.

So we cleaned the house, baked a glazed ham and made some yummy potato salad.

Baked a brie and some banana bread, bought chocolate croissants made a pot of tea, and opened a few bottles of wine.

Friends and family came and said goodbye all evening.

    What an interesting little face your baby boy has – a real person from Day 1. How lovely and intriguing! I don’t spend much time with baby-babies these days but I visited with two on Saturday and was reminded of how delicious they are (especially when you’re not primarily responsible for their well-being). Congrats Granny!
    And what good timing to distract you from Chloe’s leaving. I’m sure you’ll miss her, and I hope she has a really wonderful time.

    what a beautiful new baby! Congratulations. I love his name. What an exciting time for your baby……but a long way away for her Momma. You two are so close I am sure it will be a tender ache while she is gone.

    Veronica, your home is so warm and inviting. I feel as if I could just snuggle in and enjoy a big mug of tea and join in the conversation. Hails and farewells always bring with them a bag of emotions, don’t they? Joy and promise, happiness and longing, but most of all the hope of great days to come. You will be in my thoughts this week as you go through this transition with the wish for exciting things to fill your days. My best wishes to Chloe on her adventure! What great stories she will have to share. Blessings, my friend!

    Asher has such a pleasant look on his face — like he’s really pleased to be here! Congrats to everyone! And Chloe is so lucky to be going to Japan for 6 months. Will she be based in Tokyo or in another city?
