The week started last Tuesday August 28th when we headed down to Chicago for the Brewers vs. Cubs game, my first time at Wrigley. We left around noon and arrived at Dusty's place about 2 pm. Dusty and Julie were working so we just hung out at Dusty's place until he got home. Had a couple of beverages and then jumped on a bus to head towards Wrigley Field to meet up with Julie. Did I mention that it was about 90 degrees out this day. So it was a warm walk and bus ride. We ended up getting off of the bus before our
destination because the way traffic was we could walk faster than the bus was getting us there. We had very nice seats, behind home plate a bit towards the first base line. Was a good game. The Brewers were winning the first half of the game, then it all went down hill, and we ended up losing. This made Ed nervous about wearing his Brewers jersey in public in Chicago. But we were fine, no heckling that was too unbearable. After the game we went to a bar right outside of Wrigley, turns out to be the bar that Dusty and Julie met at. Had a few more beverages, then took a taxi home to Dusty's where we spent the night. Dusty and Julie had to work the next morning like normal people so it was an early night for the most part. I had mentioned in a previous entry the view that Dusty has from his new condo, here are a few pictures to prove it:
We worked the next few days, then packed up the truck again to head up to Minnesota to meet our new nephew, Kieran, and visit Blayne, Molly, and Peaches. We hit the road Frida
y morning right when I got home from work. We made a stop in Lyndon Station along the way by my mom and Bill's house and let Gizmo run around a bit and have a small bite to eat, and gas up the truck. Then back on the road. We arrived in Spring Lake Park at about 230 pm. At the door to greet us was a wide eyed Kieran, Molly and Peaches. Molly had waken him up, fed him and had him all ready to be spoiled by his Favorite Aunt and Uncle. We hung out a while until Blayne got home, then they made us some dinner and we really just relaxed and spoiled Kieran.Saturday morning, Blayne and Ed had a tee time bright and early, Molly and I slept it. Kieran was a good boy and slept 7 hours for Molly, ate again and napped a bit more. So we had a good day. Us ladies showered and took our time, then met the boys out for lunch at Chipotle, was another first for me, but Ed loved it the last time he had it in MN with Blayne. It was good,
nothing I would eat every day like Ed would if we had one near. Then the boys took Kieran and went home to watch football while Molly and I hit the mall. Did some shopping for Kieran, it
's much more fun buying for babies then ourselves, I might be in trouble when I have one of my own. Oh well, we'll worry about that when the time comes, in the mean time I am having fun spoiling Kieran. After shopping we went home and had some dinner, courtesy of Blayne and Molly again, watched a movie, then off to bed.Gizmo and Peaches had a wild weekend together. You never would have guessed that Gizmo has been fixed since we got him at 8 weeks old because he was trying to have his way with Peaches a bit more than we would have liked. But they get along great, Peach just moves her but
t and he is knocked over, she might have a size advantage. Gizmo did something to his paw, he was groomed last week and we think he might have gotten cut or something because he wouldn't stop licking and biting at his paw, enough that the skin was raw so we wrapped it up in a sock and taped it so he would leave it alone. He wasn't too happy with us. He acted like it was a cast, he limped around with it. Poor guy. He was exhausted after his weekend with Peaches though.

Ran another errand or two and then headed back to pack up the truck and head towards home. We decided to stop and stay the night in Lyndon Station with my Mom and Bill because with as busy as our summer has been we didn't make it up to the dells all summer. So we had dinner with them and watched a movie Sunday night, got up this morning and went out for breakfast and then headed home. We were on the road about 11am today, and traffic was terrible, we thought we would beat the traffic and boy were we wrong. But we made it home fine, and are settling back in.
I guess it is back to reality tomorrow, Ed starts Fall Semester, full time, 18 credits. And I head back to work. We wish we could have stayed in MN with Kieran, we sure did enjoy that little boy in our arms. We don't know when we will see him next, but he will get big really fast. Blayne and Molly have done a great job with him. Congratulations!Can you tell Gizmo had an exhausting weekend! This was the ride home today.
