I’m totally wiped out. It’s 9:29 and I feel like it’s 1:29 am! Anyway, “Mom” and “Mimi” left this afternoon for the beach to visit with Erika for a few days. I’d be totally sad and depressed if I didn’t know for a fact they’re coming back in a few days! Yea! Justin got home tonight from a 3 day jaunt to Tallahassee on an “interior design installation” with Erika at a house she just finished up. We keep teasing him and telling him what a great interior designer he could be… he’d have to change his voice, lose his work boots and wear tighter clothes.
Here are some pictures over the course of the last few days. And a few baby boy shots (for you Shireen!). Cousin is back in the Windy City and I miss her like crazy. She’s one of my most precious friends and I hate that we can’t be closer. Despite nasty weather we had so much fun and I made her PROMISE me that she’d come back again soon! Anyway, here are few pictures from our time together…
Darby, Cousin, & Erika (w/a Bays English Muffin) This is not a good picture but oh well. It was at 7 am and yes, I do have on my CAL Alumni sweatshirt!! Can any of you all believe I still have it, let alone wear it!? Ha ha! 
Morgan, Cousin , and Paige
Paige LOVES Cousin!
Morgan loves “Bird Brown, PhD” (aka- Professor) Have you ever heard of such a name? Only Erika!
Mimi (Elizabeth) and Paige (Elizabeth) Paige also loves Mimi and has been sleeping with her since she got here! 
Mimi & Paige again
1, 2, & 3 (& tired Mama)… should I be alarmed that I still have 14 weeks to go!?
Morgan giving “Kevin” sugar…. she named him “Kevin”… it’s been made clear to her that this is just his “pretend” name.
Last but not least, my very thoughtful husband brought me home a special treat. I couldn’t have done better myself… thanks, Justin! I love you!
I am going to submit a recipe if it kills me. It seems like every time I sit down to do it I get distracted.
