Monkeying Around

Wow, am I behind in blogging... So, I'll start on a last Friday with our first trip to the Zoo! I met Joe and Jenn with the kids and we had a great time seeing all the animals, riding the train, and spinning around on the carousel! Of course, Allie slept through most of it, but she definitely gets a lot of benefit from being out and about. She sleeps much better at night after a busy day and it helps her keep her days and nights straight. The exercise is good for me too. Just in the last week I went from not being able to pull up my pre-preggers khakis past my thighs, to fitting them up to my waist. (not buttoned, mind you, but still progress!)















Then on Saturday, we put on our best dresses and attended the wedding of Matt's old LSI boss, Justin to his lady, Cynthia. It was a beautiful ceremony at the Japanese Garden at the Botannical Gardens and the reception was out at the Links at Dardienne in St. Charles. We had a great time showing Allie off at the wedding and then we dropped her off at Grandma and Grandpa's for an adult's night out. It was a great reception and it was wonderful to catch up with people that Matt hadn't seen since last July.
Since some of the people in attendance were in town from KC, we made plans with one of Matt's old co-workers to head to the zoo (again). We got a lot of pleasure out of our family outing, eventhough Allison slept through the entire excursion again! We made a point to visit the giraffes and take our picture since Allison was in the giraffe pod at the NICU. I enjoyed being able to see the habitats that I missed on Friday since the boys began to melt halfway through. Afterwards, we met up with AnneMarie and Morgan for dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant, Pueblo Solis. It was a very busy weekend, but we had a great time!
