Hello Ladies

Miss everyone and glad you both got home safe and sound from your vacations. Have had a busy and great week here. Last night there was a Bingo Night and party at the school Baker is going to next year for Kindergarten. He and 12 of his friends from the neighborhood are all starting there together in the fall so they were feeling mighty large and in charge last night. Really quite cute. I don't know if I have ever played bingo until last night, but it was really fun. His school is excellent and feels like a small elementary even though we are in a big city. This morning, Mary Rowe and I went and met Mrs. Lail at Starbucks for breakfast. She is here for the annual wine tasting so it was really fun seeing her. She had flown here from NYC where she was with Shannon at Vera Wang picking out a wedding dress. So fun. After we left breakfast we met Dill and Baker at the Baseball field for Baker's game. He was great. Go Cubs. It was 87 degrees today so I felt like a huge, hot, sweaty, pregnant lady at the game. Hopefully it cools down. Tomorrow is our neighborhood Easter Party, Egg Hunt and Parade. All of the kids decorate their bicycles for the parade so it is really cute. This is the first year that Mary Rowe has one so hers should be dolled up. We are definately hitting Michaels in the morning for supplies to decorate. We are headed to Chapel Hill next week for Easter Week and Spring Break. I am driving the kids and the dog both ways alone which I am not looking forward to since I have to pee every 5 minutes and sitting for 7 hours sucks when you are 8 months pregnant! It will be worth it when we get there. I will just chill and nap and enjoy the week while the Dills and Caitlin wisk the kids off for various activities. Dill has been working 24/7 lately, but loves his new job. He is going to India in 2 weeks and is really looking forward to that. Lets hope the baby doesn't come early! He was interviewed yesterday by a news agency in Africa and as soon as the baby is born he has a series of trips to Kuwait, Dubui and Hong Kong. Very exciting. Luc, got your message yesterday. Yes, I am so sad about John Edwards and his wife. They already had to go through the death of their teenage daughter and his wife's breast cancer and now to have cancer again. I don't know how I feel about him continuing to run. I am quite sure it was a decision that they made together so it must be a dream that they both have. Looking forward to the next 6 weeks to get ready for the baby and for summer. We are all set for Michigan. We rented a house for the week ending the day after the Lobster Bake. I think July 29-August 6th. Very exited. We are going to drive again this year. We loved it last year. I just knit the whole time and the kids loved the view. Dill just listened to old radio episodes of the Lone Ranger and Dragnet that his Dad gave him so we were all very happy. Plus, we had never been to a Bob Evans and Dill got obsessed and so we had to eat at one for Breakfast, lunch and Dinner both ways! Very funny. We don't have them in Atlanta so he is fired up for his first visit. As for California, as soon as this baby is 6 weeks we are jumping on a plane and coming out for 3 weeks. Yippie! Love to all. Sorry about the long winded update.
