The things you miss when I fail to post for a week...

Even though it has only been slightly over a week, it feels as though it has been four hundred weeks since my last post. This past St. Patrick's Day weekend was loads of fun, but very very busy. I finally got a glimpse of "green" river. Every St. Patrick's Day or the Saturday closest to it, the city of Chicago intentionally dumps chemicals (sorry, dye!) into the river to turn a section of it a bright emerald green. It's rather fun to view, but I laugh because the river is normally a muted icky green. I did not attend the parade this year, mostly because I went last year and thought it was over rated. I also had a fantastic time helping my friend celebrate her birthday.

Tonight I am preparing for my trip to DC/Baltimore. I will be spending Easter in DC. I am very excited to be able to attend my church there for Easter. I will also be able to catch up with a few friends I haven't seen in ages as well as one of the families with whom I previously worked. I will finish up the trip with my lovely sister and her family in Baltimore. It will be a nice break.

I will also have a few days off still once I return to Chicago. I am hoping to use those days to begin sorting through my stuff, in preparation for packing. As much moving to new places, I really, really hate packing and the moving process. Thankfully we have a month overlap with the two apartments and will have time to move at a less crazy pace.

Oh, and H is as adorable as ever. He's starting to walk with confidence. At times this is misguided confidence, in that he thinks he can walk over his toys without actually picking up his feet. His parents also bought him big boy shoes... which he refuses to wear.
