Good times

I was blessed to have my friend Carol (and her cutie pie son Liam) visiting from TN this past week. Not only was it nice to see a familiar face and spend time with a good friend, but we had another added blessing. For months past, Gabe and I have worried about what would we do should the baby decide to arrive prior to my mom's arrival. Carol's visit solved this dilemma!

It was a fun time watching the two kids interact and play together. Mia just loved chasing Liam around the house and playing peek-a-boo with him. She's definitely going to miss her little friend. We got to do some fun stuff while they were here...We went to the Chicago Children's Museum (SO fun-- I highly recommend this museum for kids of all ages), Navy Pier, a pumpkin farm, the Lincoln Park Zoo (totally free admission and still an awesome zoo!)...and, of course, we got in a healthy dose of shopping.

So a big thanks and shout out needs to go to our friend Carol. Thanks for a fun-filled week. It was nice staying active and having the distraction from being so very preggers. ;) I miss her already! I absolutely love Carol's humility, honesty and tenderness of heart. I'm thankful for a friend like her...

P.S....preggers update: I am about 38 and a half weeks now. Nothing interesting happening in the labor department besides a bad case of heartburn. My mom arrived yesterday--- yippie!
