Spring Break is Really Over

And now they are talking of snow in Chicago (with a very quick warm up this weekend). What is it with this weather? We had sunny skies and warm days in Florida, and we were sad to leave Friday.

Last week was a bit crazy. Oh my gosh, wait...it wasn't last week, it was two weeks ago. Wow, that should tell you how life has been for me lately. Thursday, April 9, was Joe's birthday. We went to his mom's house for a dinner of corn beef and potatoes (his favorite). Friday, we had our friends over to celebrate and didn't end up going to bed until 3:30am. We played round after round of Taboo. It wasn't until we started repeating the cards that we decided to call it quits and hit the sack. Then, Saturday night we went with Kate and Zac to see Rent at the Oriental Theatre (a present from Joe to me for Christmas). It was amazing and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see two of the original cast members perform. We left the house at 4:00am Sunday morning (Easter) so that Elle and I could catch our 6:00am flight to Florida. Whew, we made it.

I was a little nervous, being alone with Elle on the plane. You just never know how an infant is going to react, but she was wonderful. Actually, she didn't know she was alone with me on the flight. She thought we were traveling with about 180 of our closest friends. She entertained herself by smiling and flirting with all the other passengers, who breathed sighs of relief when there wasn't a screaming infant on the plane with them.

We had a great time visiting with my grandparents and soaking up some sun.

My little baby looks so grown up here
