Sick day in Dora pajamas

Busy yet boring week, sorry to say. If you want some romance and suspense, read Jim's blog about how he met and married his wife, Amy. If you think that is good, just wait until he posts about how he met Jake & I in exotic Peru mere minutes after I nearly suffered a brain hemorrhage falling in the slippery Rumi Punko shower.

Regular day in Dora pajamas

Jake made the most delicious homemade chicken parmigiana this weekend and we ate way too much. The nice weather forced us to go to Izzy's as well. We otherwise had a pretty laid back weekend although Jake did hang shelves in the baby's room closet and we got our big old computer desk out of the guest room, both long dreaded projects.

Play date with pirates Liam & Ang ( Norelle often refuses to look at the camera)

Angie introduced me to a great new coffee shop, Riverview Cafe, which not only has vegetable infused treats (carrot cake?), but also a fun playroom for rowdy kids. It's my new Go To spot!

Sabrina's shabby chic baby shower

Today I slept in while Jake & Nori went to church. It was a religious experience. Later we had Sabrina's baby shower over at Kelly's house. You may remember Sabrina from her engagement or her wedding and now her pregnancy. Girl saved it all up for one big hurrah of a year!

Pineapple hideout

Please notice the green Blankie is mine (yes, he sleeps with me) and the white one is hers. She thought it would be fun for us to play with them together! So sweet!

Hanging with Funcle Char

Funcle Char hung out this afternoon and later we were joined by Grandpa Steve, Grandma Liz and Aunt Ellen for some Brasa takeout. Nor is VERY fond of Charlie and made sure to have his full attention. Ellen just back from a mission trip in NYC and gave a presentation about it today. BTB, my brother Casey found out he is 1st in the waitlist for his #1 choice grad school, DePaul, for a MA in jazz performance and was admitted to UNI in the classical program but now wants to switch the jazz program so he needs to re-audition there. So, lots of unknowns as he is not yet sure how it's all going to pan out with school or if he will take a year off to work and reapply next year.
