Caleb’s Birthday Bash

This past Sunday we went to a birthday party for our good friend's son, Caleb. It was a water themed extravaganza that was a lot of fun for Libby and for us.

We Have Great Friends, Too!

We have been incredibly fortunate to be flooded with many well wishes and congratulations over the past 4 days. We have been blessed many times over, and we thank all of you.

A special thanks to Emily, Tim, Henry, and Sam. Few things bring as much surprise joy in the morning as finding a cooler with a quiche, fruit salad, crunchy granola, yogurt, and fresh flowers on your doorstep. THANK YOU!

Penny and Libby (and Barbie)

Penny (aka Mike and Kristin's perfect pooch) played with Libby on Saturday night - both had a lot of fun running around, giggling, and of course playing with dolls:

I love how their ponytails match!

Two Toots Railroad Restaurant

While in the 'burbs of Chicago we visited a neat little train-themed restaurant called 2 Toots. The restaurant has model trains running through the dining area to bring food out from the kitchen, which would be reason enough to visit again. But what I really love about this restaurant are the burgers (pressed thin so that the edges get crisp) and the milkshakes (thick, creamy, served in metal mixing cup). Delicious!

Thanks Alison, Matt, and Ethan

We spent the last few days invading Matt and Alison's house and were sad to leave (even though we probably overstayed our welcome :) ). Here Libby is giving Ethan one last hug before departing:

I'll post a few more pics over this week from other activities we did.
