Greg and I took a much needed vacation this past weekend. We left Sophie & Meg with my parents, and headed up to Chicago with my sister and Tim. We got up there by early afternoon, checked into the hotel, and headed out to watch the Cards game at a bar recommended by my uncles. Saturday, after a quick trip to the American Girl store (Greg's favorite!), we went to the Cards-Cubs game. Unfortunately, they lost, but we had an awesome time. Afterwards, we met my friend Wendy and some of her Cubs faithful, ran into Heather and Ralph, and lost all track of time! Sunday was back to reality . . . but we were happy to see the girls.
Our house is really starting to come together. Still no kitchen, but at least we now have walls and floors. The cabinets are, of course, delayed, so we are at a little of a standstill. But it is definitely starting to look like a house again. I must say that I am getting a little tired of living as we have been, in disarray and disorganization, not to mention the dust! The girls have really done great with it, and still amaze me at how they are able to sleep through walls coming down, and floors being layed. I am, however, ready for it to be done. I have included a few before and after pics so that you can see the progress that is being made. The picture of the girls is the duck that is their bathtub, since we have only a shower at present, until they finish with the girls' bath!

I recently found a center that takes breast milk donations. I was given the info at Children's on our last day there, but it took me a little while to feel up to investigating. Essentially, they pay for everything, including the shipping, and they will take all of the milk. They will also put Ben's name on the leaf of a giving tree in his honor. I am just so grateful that I don't have to throw it all away - I must have at least 1000 ounces. It makes me feel so much better that someone will benefit from it. Plus, we need the room in our freezer!
