I know I'm posting backwards, but before Gabe's birthday, he and I went to Baltimore to visit Susan and her family. Lay over in Chicago+long flights+crying baby=me crying on a plane full of strangers and the whole way through the airport to meet up with Susan. We pretty much lounged around and sewed and played Legos Harry Potter, which is just the way we like it. Our children hated each other to the point of having to physically restrain both of them and keep them in separate rooms. That was very sad. But the times we got to spend just the two of us was wonderful. We went to D.C for a day and went to North Carolina for a week. Consumed more vinegar/burned the back of my throat more than I ever have in my entire life (no offense Granny Jo!), fought back the urge to respond with a southern accent in conversations, saw the Most Beautiful scenery and homes, and wolfed down dinner at a mexican restaurant in 5 minutes flat. I love N.C. It was bittersweet to say goodbye after almost 3 weeks. Thanks for taking us in Suze and Nick!

Yay! I'm so glad that you got some good pictures! It was sad that our boys didn't get along :( It was very sad to have you leave, but it was a wonderful visit! We miss you guys allllll the time!
What classic endo- and ectomorph body types! Love the undies photo!
Ahh that skirt is amazing! I really like Calvin's nutella pencil-stache... it looks very Edward Norton.
That looks like an awesome trip! And thank you for having a picture of Baby ___! I have been waiting patiently!
