We had such a fun week, and we saw so many of the people we love to see!
Last Thursday Reese came over to play with Gwen. She is so sweet with her. She told me very proudly that she thinks people think Gwenna is her little sister when they see them together :)
We went to the park and Gwen loved the swing there. We got a swing for our backyard too! She loves being outside, but once we think it's staying nice, it gets cold or rainy again!
Gwen has so many fun things to do at our house, but her FAVORITE thing to do and her favorite toy is her wipe box! I swear, every time I turn my head for 1 second she has every wipe we own sprawled all over the floor!
We finally got to meet baby Paisley!!! She is 2 months old now but still sooooo little. When I picked her up, she felt like a feather compared to Gwen. It was so fun having them for the day. I got us drinks from the coffee shop, we hung out all morning at our house and caught up, went out for lunch, and for a walk with the girls. Pais is such a good baby too. They were the perfect <1 yr old pair to hang out with :)
Adam, Gwen and I went to Chicago all weekend. I couldn't ask for a better place to visit just 2 hours away that is home to so many people I love to see! Andrea's mom Kristen has a business called Kitchenistas that is just so much fun. She comes to your home and does cooking classes for you and your friends. Our topic was soups and stews and I learned a lot, had some drinks, and ate some really good food. It was so fun to catch up with my girlfriends. I hadn't seen Pope or Ford for 2+ years! Before the class, Ford (a photographer) took Gwen's pictures and I can't wait to see the results!
We stayed with Auntie Emily (really Gwen's second cousin, my first cousin, Gwen's Godmother, but we call her "Aunt"). Her apartment is in such a great location with a beautiful view.
We walked to Navy Pier. The weather was cold and rainy, but we brought Gwen's stroller rain shield and dressed for the cold. We ate lunch, met DD and Amy, went to a really neat grocery store/cafe for coffee, and hung out! That night we met Emily's boyfriend Eric for dinner at a restaurant right at the base of her building. It had good food and drinks and was perfect for having a baby on a rainy day!
What a great week! The only downfall was the tornado sirens going off last night. Adam's out of town again, and the news said to take cover, so Gwen, Diggy and I sat in the closet for about an hour just to be safe :) Even though the tornado has passed, I was scared to have Gwen sleep in her crib (right near a window), so I put up the pack in play in my room and we had a slumber party.
Tomorrow evening starts a holiday weekend, and I am so excited to see Darah and Evan for dinner!
Sunday we had a busy day. We went to Adam's dad's house in Kincaid to meet up with his family in the morning, and my family came to our house in the afternoon.
The rest of the evening, they colored, did an egg hunt and we grilled out dinner!

First bike ride! 
Auntie Panichi came to visit!!!! They had fun playing! 
Panichi got through to Andy Cohen on WWHL on Bravo! We were so excited. We had a good question, but the lady told her what to ask, haha. We took what we could get! 
Ready for dinner with Dad for his 30th birthday! Of course, we went out for Mexican, Adam's favorite. Gwen loves Mexican restaurants because the servers pay so much attention to her! 
Saturday we went to Adam Pletcher's 40th birthday party. It was 80's themed so everyone dressed up. Robin has so many cool decorations and details in the party. It was really fun! 
In other news, we moved into our new place. Thank you to everyone who helped! We are finally getting settled!
