Stopping by to say "Hi"

I'm here...sometimes! I am really hoping to obliterate a whole bunch of our to-do list this week so that we can take in and enjoy summer finally!

A lot is going on as always. Noe is on the constant go, go, go. She took a step about a week ago. She waved to people at the beach which was cute.

Aliyah & Kiki started swim lessons and I wondered if the ice queen would make an appearance, but ice queen did not. She smiled and did everything her teacher said. Aliyah is a wild kicker, but her teacher is helping her kicking/paddling be more productive =). It was nice to sit and catch some sun while they had their lesson.

Josh is tiling our backsplash now. Our kitchen has the construction zone look, but hopefully not for long. It is looking great.

We also have the annual dreaded garage sale coming up. I say dreaded because getting ready for them is so much work. I needed to work on it tonight, but after our lack of sleep this weekend and a busy day, I was too tired! Noe didn't do well on our Chicago trip in the sleep dept. I think it was because it was not her environment. She slept very little and woke up in the night as well.

Oh yeah, we went to Chicago for the weekend. Josh and I celebrated our 11th anniversary =). It was tons of fun. Dinner at PF Changs, the city, and the beach! Throw in a little shopping and it was a blast. That is what summer is all about in my book. The only downside of the trip was getting stuck in the stairwell of the parking garage for 25 minutes!
We did see some very expensive cars, though! There were several Bentley's and even a Lamborghini!

Time to get ready for bed. Hopefully some rest will motivate me to tackle this lovely list.
