Wonderland

We had a fabulous Saturday over here. It started with brunch at the Egg and I with my college pals and their kiddos. Then we lazed away the afternoon with books and soup and views of the falling snow. In the late afternoon, we trekked out to the Midwest Home Show where Dave refused to talk to anyone who might try to sell him something. I figured that was the whole point, so I gave my email freely and signed up for lots of drawings. Sam met a puppy at one booth and said "Dog!" quite clearly as we walked away. Back home, we threw together a dinner of brats and fancy mac n' cheese, which, I fear, is all Sam will ever want to eat again. Once he was down for the night, Dave and I watched an episode of The Wire and I managed to stay calm about the corruption and devastation by drinking two glasses of wine.

All in all, a perfect day.

Sounds like a wonderful day!

Since both my nephew's are geniuses, it's clear they must get it from me.

I miss that boy of yours.

I'm sure he said dog clearly! He's not only super adorable but smart.

I love Saturdays like that!! That's the stuff weekends are for.

Love that Sam is a talker! What a great guy.
