Hello from Rhode Island! For the first time since we moved to Maryland, S and I had a halfway decent drive up to RI; it took a little over eight hours (with two potty stops for Luna) and had relatively little traffic. We arrived around 11:30 last night, which meant I had to wait until today to meet baby Charlie. He was, as you might expect, worth the wait.

We spent most of the day with my parents, my sister, and her family today. Mom made delicious banana muffins for breakfast, and for lunch we all shared a tray of pizza strips, spinach calzones, and Del’s lemonade… pretty much the quintessential Rhode Island summer lunch! For dinner, we boiled up some fresh local corn (so sweet!) and had it alongside veggie burgers on whole-wheat buns with all the fixings.

One of the best little perks of visiting my parents is not having to cook! Therefore, I have no idea how I did today, nutritionally speaking. I was too busy cuddling a five-day-old baby to count. ;)
