Crazy Busy

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted, but it's been a busy few weeks.  First, I finished all the sewing for my redecorating project for my friend Robin's cottage in Michigan.  Everything is hung and arranged (with huge thanks to Merce for her extra hands and functioning power tools!) Then, we hung out with good friends (Cynthia, Kendra, Laura, & her friend from home) at Millennium Park for the free music Wednesdays and listened to some classical music by Beethoven.  Actually, we talked and the music was a nice background.  Everyone showed up with tasty treats and drinks, and we had a lovely picnic dinner.  Then we met up with Sharon & Vanessa later for tasty treats at Cold Stone.  (Don't tell my doc!)  Fun, fun, fun!  The next weekend we spent up at the Cuthbert's Lakehouse in Michigan with our good friends Mark, Christie, Jeff, Tristan, Brian, & Amanda.  It was a bit rainy, but when else would you play a full game of Monopoly.  I'm still a bit peeved that the Scrabble game was started without me (intentionally!) (c:  After we got back, I had lunch with Christie & her mom, which was very nice & relaxing after the whirlwind weeks before.  Needless to say, the fact that Baby picked this period of time to have a growth spurt, made Mommy more tired & cranky (& hungry) than usual, but it was still a lot of fun!
