At 25 weeks, we are more than halfway through the pregnancy. It's amazing how fast this time is flying by. Lisa is really starting to look pregnant and continuing to feel good... albeit the recurring evening backache/muscle cramp.
The past month has been a fun one. At the end of July we packed up the car and pooch and drove from Chicago to Scranton to celebrate Alia & Frankie's wedding shower. On the way, we stopped in eastern Ohio to camp for the night; splitting up the 12 hour drive. Kev's Mom, Lynn, made the drive back with us. During her stay, we celebrated her birthday by going to see The Four Tops and The Temptations at a great outdoor concert venue called Ravinia. We also enjoyed an improv comedy show, a trip to the Sears Tower(now called the Willis Tower), toured the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio in Oak Park, IL, explored more of Navy Pier and checked out the beautiful Garfield Conservatory. Also, Danny & Stacey's daughter, Adelyn, turned 2 years old and we all attended her Barney-themed birthday party. The slideshow below shows pics from all these great events.
After Lynn's visit we flipped the house to welcome our friends from Cornell, Chrissy & Franz. We went to the Air & Water Show and the Turkish Festival during their visit. As always, we had a good time with them and hope it's not too long before we see them again.
On August 17, Kevin started his new job with Acciona Energy. He is part of a rotational leadership program and his assignment for the next 6-8 months is working as a budget analyst. So far, he is really enjoying putting all his hard-earned MBA knowledge to the test.
On August 28, we celebrated Schatzi's 3rd birthday. She is such a good girl and so much fun. We love her so much!! Her birthday was just another excuse to spoil her.
Lastly, this past weekend was spent in Madison, WI visiting our good friends Vic & Roni and their children Maxwell & Zoe. They just moved from Georgia. It's now nice to have them in our neck of the woods for the next two years while Vic gets his masters in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin. Good luck Professor Jaffett!!
Events we are looking forward to this upcoming month include: Rich & Jen's visit this Thursday, Lisa's baby shower in Buffalo, Oktoberfest and the German-American Festival in our neighborhood, and Kevin's visit to West Point for the Army-Ball State football game.
Stay tuned for the next update recapping all of these September events. Much love to everyone!!!
