We miss you daddy...

We wanted you to join us in our leaf party today and mommy had to add some sappy music in the background. Love M+M

My new business partner

 

Working from home is great in many ways. Working from home is not so great in many ways. The biggest issue for me is the isolation. Everyday, it goes like this-get coffee, have breakfast with the girls, grab Zeke and head up to the office. He is so content to just hang out all day and watch cars and sleep. I looked over at him this morning and thought about the first day we went to get him on an Amish farm in Liberty, Ohio. He has been a great companion and an excellent pull toy for Mia and Mazlin. Zeke is almost 17 and I know his days are limited (at least it smells that way)

But for now he is my business partner. I just need to curtail his expenses. Snausages are not cheap these days.

Mazzie loved her costume. She laughed at herself and her sister all night. It was quite chaotic around here but a ton of fun.

A day of discovery

 

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.
