How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Winnie the Pooh

So Kirk is in London,

Audrey is sick

The baby has sucked me dry of patience

And we are going to stir crazy here at home.

But my kitchen is clean so it could be worse right?

It's always really hard to say goodbye to Kirk, especially for so long. We adore him and its not nearly as fun (or functional) at our house without him. Friday night we wanted to go do something fun but could tell Audrey was coming down with something and didn't want to go anywhere public. We threw around a few ideas but ultimately decided to pick up dinner and watch movies at home. Have you taken a pregnant lady out to "pick up dinner"? Kirk has. It took us an hour and we made 4 stops. Ha ha, it was so fun...and yummy!(jimmy johns for the adults, parfaits and fry's for the girls, turtle pecan blizzard, and Alvin and the chipmunks and fishing in Yemin)

We finished our coat closet/mini mud room. I think it turned out swell.

Audrey has been sick enough to keep us at home, but not sick enough to sleep all day. Just sick enough to whine and cry over everylittlething...oh my we have had some very long days. But she sure is sweet when she sleeps!

Kirsten has been her usual perky happy little self. She went to a cute "back to school" tea party today. She had so much fun. She picked out what to wear, we curled her hair like a princess, and I even put some mascara and lip gloss on her. She looked gorgeous...she kind of took my breath away. How is she so beautiful and grown up already?! And heaven help us in about 10 years. Maybe Kirk needs a gun after all!

LOVE Kirsten's smile in this picture

And you know she is absolutely Kirk's daughter because when I asked her to put away the blocks (from the living room to the playroom) she put 5 blocks under each foot and "walked" them to the playroom. Seriously only Kirk's child...
