The End of an Era

Our beloved next door neighbors Bethany, Eric and Gunnar are moving to Indiana later this month. It is soooo sad! We are going to miss them so much. But for now we are trying to make the most of the last few precious weeks. Here's Gunnar offering me some cereal. Thanks!

Happy Half Birthday To Us

My darling sister was home for the holidays -our half birthdays and Valentines Day that is!- over the weekend. Look how happy Marley is to see her! She will be back in Chicago next for Spring Break, March 11th-22nd. It was perfect timing for my original due date, March 15th, but now that it has been pushed back to March 27th I'm worried she'll probably miss the action. Abernathy, can you hear me? Let's aim for sometime when your Auntie Sasha will be in town :-)

Chicago

We are back in the frigid Midwest. It's a high of 16 degrees today. Good to be home...

Thank god we're getting out of town again next weekend! The upcoming trip to Florida is our so-called "babymoon" and we'll be cutting it pretty close to the cut off date for flying. I'm officially grounded starting the 30th of January (32 weeks), so I'm getting some much needed traveling out of my system before then. I can't handle being stuck in Chicago for an entire winter...I can't even imagine what I'm going to do here for an entire February!

This picture was actually taken from Midway, the morning Mark and I left for Baltimore. It was cold then too.
