Nate, Alisa and Karly came for a fun visit, and Alisa got her hair cut by my hair buddy DeAn... (For more on their visit, see Alisa's blog!)
Mel said goodbye to her transportation buddy of the last two years (our Chrysler mini-van, a vehicle we no longer need) before I took it away to become the transportation solution of...
...the Adamz family,represented by the "big" brothers, aka silly monkeys...
Whom I happily joined to welcome into the world their new brother, Ethan Timothy!
While in IL, I attended my American Mothers, Inc. meetings in Springfield, the land of Lincoln (and enjoyed the bit of history more than the meetings, I'm sorry to say; but my love and admiration for some of the women increased mightily, thus balancing things nicely);
Tim made AND decorated a yummy cake for my birthday during his quick trip to meet Ethan (and attend meetings of his own in Chicago);
I got Shan out of the house and let the monkeys play at the arboretum; enjoyed the gorgeous weather; watched some of Conference before I left, and made memories that are not captured in photos...
...And got the news about Ben and Emilie's new addition...
Assuring another post before October has flown!
