More Snow!

Well, this weekend has been pretty uneventful, but I welcomed it! Actually, our friends, Emily and Becky volunteered to babysit Eli on Friday so Aaron and I could go on a date before Baby Ziggy arrives. We went to a newer restaurant in Brookside called Avenues. We had reservations at 615p. I started with a nice red wine trio sampler, it was divine! I savored every sip! I then had the pear and blue cheese salad and the lobster and shrimp spedini, Aaron had the Cajun spiced grouper. It was so tasty! The ambience was nice too. We were trying to find other things to do to extend our date, because last time Emily and Becky babysat we were home before 10pm! So we tlooked into going to a movie, but nothing was sounding good and everything started later. We went to PF Changs thinking we might get dessert and drinks there, but the wait was ridiculous. So, we had a much needed potty break, LOL! I decided I wanted some bread pudding from Pot Pie, so we went there, but the wait was pretty long too. We ended up next door at Bluestem. They had couches and places to lounge, so we took up a couch and Aaron had a drink and I ordered a dessert. It was straight from a Top Chef quick fire. It was a rich Mexican hot chocolate, some bourbon dipped marshmallows, churizzo, and a cinnamon milk concoction. It was pretty good to nibble on. Aaron and I were going over baby names. We have our short list prepared.

Emily and Becky had a great time with Eli. We weren't worried because when we left Eli just waved to us and was enjoying Emily's company (Becky was running a little late). He was asleep by 8pm which is great. We were so thankful for their services!



Yesterday was pretty laid back. Eli had swim lessons, which he did not enjoy as much. We came home, had some lunch and we all took naps. The rest of the day was spent at home.



This morning we woke up and Aaron looked outside, and snow was coming down hard. We're supposed to get 6+ inches today. Aaron is at the grocery store right now before it gets too bad, because we already have a few inches. We were planning on going to mass, but I don't think we'll be leaving the house.
