PLEASANTVILLE

Since I was a bit lagging in my posts last week (I was completely distracted by the phenomenal surroundings of Naperville) I'm catching up today!
Griffin, Owen, Lauren and Deirdra opened their door to us so graciously and really gave us a great week!!

THE END TO HARRY POTTER

Two summers ago, Matt and I decided to take up a new hobby: reading together. While we were on vacation at Lost Lake -- a quiet cottage in the middle of nowhere in Michigan -- I grabbed the newest Dan Brown book from the Lodge's limited but sufficient library. While Matthew napped, he and I headed out to the lawn, sat in the hammock and read aloud. It was awesome! Just sitting there together, using our imaginations and having discussions on our latest theories on what was to happen in the upcoming chapters.

DECLAN'S 6 MONTH CHECK-UP

Today was Declan's 6 month check-up. Finally we've received an update on (not only his health) but his SIZE.

Beautiful Baby Contest

I normally never watch Regis and Kelly, but Matt (believe it or not) was watching it when he was home on Monday (for vacation). In passing I overheard a promotion for a Bautiful Baby Contest. Apparently their show is teaming up with Parenting Magazine to discover the next cover baby.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

One of my main New Year's Resolution is to be ON TOP of posting blogs!! With the holiday rush and chaos of Matt's surprise 30th birthday plans, I've been seriously neglecting "Growing Up Lee"!
