Sans boys. I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but for the entire month of June (and maybe even the first week of July), James and Emmett will be spending every Wednesday night to Friday night in Maine. James is working for his parents' business, [Creative Cottages](http://www.creativecottagesllc.com/), and since I have a weekly work meeting every Friday, Emmett has to go with him. Last week was the first week they went. It was the first night I spent away from Emmett, and while it was nice to have some time to myself (I got a LOT of work done and was able to go to a [Tweetup](http://www.adrants.com/2009/06/rooftop-tweetup-roofup.php)!), it still felt strange to be alone, and I missed both of them terribly. To keep myself occupied, I've made an extensive list of things I want to get done while they're away in June, which includes a ton of magazine-reading, plenty of baths and pedicures and some online shopping.

Emmett grows more and more everyday. And all he wants to do is stand up. Seriously, this kid is totally dying to be mobile. Last weekend we enjoyed another lovely visit from my parents. We went for a stroll around BU's campus on Saturday, and on Sunday headed over to the Charles for the [Dragon Boat Festival](http://www.bostondragonboat.org/). James and I were also able to go on a date on Saturday night - we saw [*Angels and Demons *](http://www.angelsanddemonsmovie.org/)(it was awesome!) and hung out with friends.
