Chuck in DC

Chuck and his dad went to Washington, DC this month to lobby on behalf of their grocery store co-op. Congress was so impressed that they nearly shut down.

Put A Bird On It

I flew down to Florida a few weekends ago so that Laura, Patti and I could throw Kacy a baby shower! Now as you can imagine, when I say "we" planned a baby shower I mean that Laura and Patti pulled it off and I somehow got some credit - man can those girls throw a party or what?! While my Kappa Delta skills have rusted a bit post-college, theirs are still going strong. The party included a onesie decorating station (that is what I am doing in the first picture), an area with cards for baby name suggestions (they are still undecided, I voted for Bladette in honor of Brett's nickname which is 'Blade'), and homemade chocolate nests to go along with the theme of the shower which was "birds". It was a huge success, Kacy's new baby now owns more things than I do and it was a great excuse for us all to see each other again. We stayed at Kacy and Brett's house which has an awesome backyard that was perfect for an afternoon of sitting by the pool and catching up on all that has gone on since we were together last year for Laura's wedding. I miss you guys already!
L to R: Patti, Kacy (23 weeks), Laura, Paige

Cabo 2011

We were back at Club Cascadas for my Spring Break this year. Chuck is exhaustingly busy with work these days and school has been occupying the vast majority of my time so Dad and Julie offered to whisk us away to Mexico for the week and we jumped at the chance! We spent our days lounging on our balcony, horseback riding, whale watching, kayaking, sunset cruising, napping and eating as much as humanly possible. It was a wonderful trip and we can't wait to go back!
