Friends, Bricks, and a Birthday...

I feel like we have so much to update! Not that we are super exciting but its fun to update nonetheless.

Last weekend I travelled to Hobart, IN (near Chicago) to begin welcoming our friend Jenn and Jon's coming little one, Connor. Jenn's mom, Melissa, and I planned the shower with lots of surprises and everyone seemed to have a great time. It was also fun to catch up with some of my girlfriends that I don't see nearly enough of. Oh, and for those of you following the sweater saga, it was finished in time with appropriately sized arms!
The infamous baby sweater finished and ready for Connor!
Me, Jennifer, Melissa, Colleen, and Sarah. I love these ladies!!!
This week I was in Atlanta at a national meeting for work. In the evenings we had free time and I was able to go downtown and visit my Olympic brick in Centennial Park (and our niece Mikayla's too!!). It was a good trip with lots learned, a new hard cider discovered, and some great new friends.

My brick... I know it's dark... just trust me :)

Shane and Macabean had a great week of "man time" watching movies, playing video games, eating scrambled eggs every night (don't ask, I have no idea), and generally enjoying time without me making them watch "Gossip Girl" and making them keep the socks off the floor.

This week Shane is celebrating his 32nd birthday!!! We have tickets to see his favorite comedian who just happens to be in town on Friday and I'm making my famous quesadillas for dinner as per his request.

Wew... okay... mostly caught up now!!!! Enjoy!

Scrambled Eggs...hmmm

I think if left to his own devices, Joe would have Taco Bell if I was gone a whole week

I'm sure Taco Bell was involved :-)
