Lunch at the Tea Room!

This morning, my good friends, Laurie and Vicki invited me to go to a Tea Room up north of us. The one in Rockford had closed recently and they wanted to see how this one compared. We had a wonderful time, not only enjoying the food, but treasuring each moment we had together...it was so much fun!

Late in the afternoon, they dropped me off at Shannon's house where I got to enjoy the kids for the afternoon. Lydia was so much fun...I'm going to really miss spending time with her when I go home.

Athough baby Joshua still sleeps most of the time, it's fun to watch the changes in him. He's definately more the size of a "normal" newborn now!

One extra note...I finally got to see Shannon's pet lizard, Buddy today when she let him out in the basement with Lydia and me. I can't believe how much he's grown from when she got him last year. Lydia loves him although she seems to be afraid he's going to not share her toys with her!
