What do you get when Dora meets I Dream of Jeanie?

 

My sister continues to amaze me with her ability to send Mia home with such memorable purchases. I'm certain these pajamas will become Mia's new favorites just because I can barely look at them without laughing. In case you can't tell, the pants are a bit sheer as well.

Congrats Kristin and Tom!

We attended the wedding of Dennis' good friend this weekend (child-free) and I realized why I love weddings. You get to share in such a wonderful event and remind yourself of why you married the person you are with in the first place. They were married in the Tower Club of the Opera House. Simply beautiful right down to the letterpress invitations. We are so happy for Kristin and Tom. We had a great time. What else do you do but drink too much and find yourself walking to your hotel with hiccups at 2:00am without the kiddies!

The Altmans!

 
It was so good to meet Margie, Lulu and Daisy on our way to Chicago this weekend. It truly was as if no time had passed. Margie has created such an amazing family. Lulu is hilarious and Daisy is too cute for words. She is such a natural as this mommy thing. So patient and understanding.

Chicago Anti-War Protest

 

Dennis and I traveled to Chicago for a wedding (that was wonderful by the way) and we arrived a little early and thought we would hit the streets, grab a coffee and do a little shopping. Instead, we grabbed a coffee and on our way back we were right in the middle of the most amazing (5,000 strong) and peaceful anti-war protest. The streets were filled with a sea of people expressing themselves and it was really overwhelming for both of us. My political preference is no secret to those that know me and I couldn't of had a better surprise event at that moment. The icing on the cake was this photo of our four fearless leaders. When Mia asked who they were it filled me with great joy to tell her they are scary scary people that unfortunately stick around even after Halloween.

Why don't people understand you can be against the war and still love this country. I'm over it.
