Jude's moving



Jude is moving around like crazy. He can roll across the floor in no time at all, and is sitting up on his own, too (just don't distract him because he might tip over - good thing I got a foam mat for the floor). Grandma and Grandpa in Ohio also got him a little walker that he likes- not sure about the walking thing but when he accidently kicks himself across the floor he smiles.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. It is always nice to get one extra day to spend with Jude and Ryan. We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and saw the animals and just enjoyed sitting out and people watching. Jude was up against the window of the monkeys (or Stitch's parents as many people say) and watched him skitter by. It was pretty cute. The weather was warm and we enjoyed every minute of it. Then we went to a friend's house for a good barbecue, and roasted marshmallows on the firepit! My favorite.

On Sunday we drove up to Lake Forest and Highland Park (near Ryan and my college) and walked around. We drove past the school, which is now being turned into condos! Pretty sad, although I do have to say the development looks nice. Go to www.baratwoods.com and you can check it out yourself. They have pictures of our dorms being knocked down, although, as my dad said, they probably should have been knocked down a while ago :) they weren't the nicest dorms you have ever seen. All of my friends from college were hoping/joking to buy one of the condos together, like a timeshare- hoping we could get 360 (the classroom where most of our theatre classes were). It would be pretty funny.

Other than that, I am glad it is a short week, and that it is warming up (again). The weather is crazy- mid 80s on Monday, but only got to 50 as a high on Tuesday. The record low for Tuesday, May 27th was 49- so close! Once we were that cold I would've preferred just to crack the record. If the temps are that low, we might as well have something to remember it by.
