Sweet Baby Cora

Allison and I headed down to Charleston to see our families Tues-Sun. Cora was such a good baby on the way down. I sat in the backseat with her and she slept the whole way. My Mom and I stopped by to see Allison and Cora and my Mom got to see her for the first time. It was really sweet. Cora is such a happy baby. Isn't she precious?!

My Birthday

Craig and I went to Shaw's Crab House for my birthday. We went there on our first date so it was fun to go back. I got king crab legs...YUM! And for dessert I got creme brulee and it was delicious.

Michigan vs. Michigan State Tailgating Party

Craig and I went to Michigan for his client's tailgating party for the Michigan - Michigan State game. We stayed the weekend with Phil (his client) & Katherine (Kat). We've become good friends with them and they are really great people. Phil has a son, Logan and he is 10 and then Phil and Kat's son Paxton just turned two years old.

Here is a picture of Craig and I in front of the stadium. We didn't actually go to into the game, but watched the game on flat screen TVs inside the tailgating tent. Unfortunately, Michigan lost, but it was a good game.

Paxton is such a cutie!

The whole family...Logan, Phil, Paxton, and Kat. What a beautiful family!

Dinner with Natalie & Bert

We had dinner with my best friend Allison's younger sis Natalie and Craig's friend Bert. We had a lot of fun with them.

Lunch Date with the Dwyer's

Craig, the kids, and I had a lunch date with one of my best friend's from college, Beth Dwyer, and her kids. We went to Uncle Julio's for Mexican food. It was great catching up with her and meeting her son for the first time (he's 5 months). Her kids are so cute!

Ethan's Homecoming Football Game

Ethan had his football homecoming game and they went all out with decorations, etc. All the parents and kids met at a nearby store and the boys drove over to the field in the back of the coach's truck (it was only a few blocks). All the parents decorated their cars and drove behind the truck honking their horns all the way to the field. The picture below is of Bob's car (their step-dad). Unfortunately, Ethan's team lost, but they played a great game and had fun so that's all that matters. Ethan had some great tackles. Great job, Ethan!

Union League Club Homecoming

Craig just joined the Union League Club in Chicago so we went to their Homecoming Party. We actually went last year with a friend of Craig's. The party is amazing - they have a different theme on each floor/room. Some of the themes were Wizzard of Oz, Jersey Boys, Thriller. They have either a band or some form of music as well as food and drinks for each theme. In the first picture we were at the Wizard of Oz so Glenda the good witch is behind us. The second picture is of Michael Jackson/Thriller impersonators and they were really good. The third picture is with Monica. We went with two couples, Monica and John and Aileen and Peter. They are all very nice people and we had a great time with them.
