The belly rub and the hug!!






Ok so... for our anniversary, my loving husband got us tickets to see two of our favs who happened to be performing together; John Legand and India Arie. So, we had a blast and not to mention the luckiest seats in the house. India went on first and came down into the audience during a song. As she walked up the aisle in which we were seated... Darren leaned over to me and said "I'm going to give her a hug!" I strongly advised against it by the look of the bodyguard behind her. But, as she approached, Darren leaned in and she without hesitation leaned in too. Bam... the HUG felt around the world. My husband had a smile from ear to ear the rest of the night. Ok, fast forward an hour and JOHNNY is about to grace us with his presence. He walks into the arena singing some song.. I can't remember now b/c all I was focused on was his big brown eyes. AHHH. Stopped right in front of Darren and I and rubbed my belly before he went on stage. Overall, it was a great night with great music and up close and personal attention from the performers! To top it all, John sang our wedding song as his last song of the night. Perfect ending to a perfect anniversary!

My kind of town Chicago is...






What a great time we had on our recent trip home. We caught up with friends and family and wished my sister "good luck" and "happy 18th birthday!" There is nothing that makes you feel better than being around people who know you, love you and accept you no matter what. We got a good dose of that and came home feeling revived and renewed. We miss you all and it was so good to see you!

Messy Mya!


Ummm don't ya just love toddlers?! The mess was worth this picture... it's priceless! Also a good example of what happens when you let an 18 month old feed herself pasta.
Ha ha ha... love it!

20 weeks!


Ok... half way point! Very exciting! Tomorrow is another ultrasound and more confirmation that it's a boy. Looking forward to seeing the little guy via technology in the morning. I feel like I'm getting bigger by the day! Look at this belly... although Ben and Jerry are a little to blame.
