Bodine Weekend

We spent this weekend at my parents' house in Chicago. We went out for breakfast, went into the city to see Caitlyn's new apartment which has NO pictures of David Hasselhof (ha ha), went out to a Moroccan restaurant, went to the awesome children's playland at the Arboretum, and ate Razzleberry Pie for my mom's birthday. Elinore has been making this "scrunchy" face lately. She and Ivy (my parents' dog) weren't so sure what they thought of each other. They kept their distance from one another.
 

The Musician

I realized it has been a while since I posted a photo of Elinore. Here she is playing her xylophone. She loves music. Everytime Kevin turns on a CD she starts bouncing away. Singing her a song can heal any bonk on the head. She's also crawling. She can go from one side of the house to the other - following me from room to room. I think there are 2 or 3 more teeth about to make an appearance... So many things. Everyday a little bigger 

Roast Pork Weddings

Kevin and I went to a wedding last weekend. It was a lot of fun. The bride was a friend of Kevin's from middle school and high school, so we sat with a few of those friends. We called in a babysitter and enjoyed a night out. When we arrived at the reception hall, this was the sight that greeted us. A pig-roasting. I do not have words to describe it except wow. And...that was the best roast pork I have ever eaten. We had seconds.
 

Little Sophia, Full of Grace

Our newest little niece was born today, and she is the most red-headed yet!! After a long night of slow contractions, it looked like it would be a long day. But the little girl decided it was time to come. She arrived after only 10 min of pushing! I wish I had whatever genes Amy has!! We are so proud to welcome Sophia Grace. She was 7#2 and 20" long. We are so so happy that she is here. Safe and healthy and in one of the most wonderful of families!
