Chicago Ladies Evening

Last weekend I had a fabulous time with two of my friends, Jen and Inger, in Chicago!  We went just for the afternoon/evening, and had a blast.  We shopped for a bit, then ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant called Mercadito...so good!  We then headed over to Xoco by Rick Bayless for some dessert, so fun!  Great "girls" day...

At Mercadito...

Eating dessert and having fun!

Jacob 10 Months

I have a couple other blog post to get caught up on, but I better post Jacob's 10 month pics before October...ha!  I am still trying to grasp that he will be 1 year old in less than two months!   Wow...

I thought these were cute "brother" pics...

Jacob 9 Month Pics from Target

Here are Jacob's "professional" 9 months pics from Target.  They did a great job.  We love the "baker" ones!

New Hair Color

Last Friday I did something new!  I finally did something different with my hair.  I have always been blond, practically my whole life!  I went with a nice toffee brown with the same golden blond highlights on top.  I really like the new color...my stylist is great!

Apple Orchard with Grammy

I LOVE Fall!  One of the best things about Fall in Northern Illinois is Edward's Apple Orchard in Poplar Grove.  It is just the best!  My mother was here this past week helping me clean and declutter our basement.  Thanks so much Mom! (Seriously, our basement looked like it could have been on an episode of "Hoarders"...)  Anyways, back to the Orchard...Edward's is awesome, and I look forward to having their famous apple cider donuts each year...We went out one afternoon with my Mom, and she snapped these cute pics with her new Droid phone...fun!
