Lots to catch up on!
So I've been a little absent from updating my blog-mainly because I am too lazy to download all of the pics...I've quickly inserted some so here goes-a quick recap of the past few weeks...
We took a road trip to Nebraska to visit Alicia and Kevan, we had lots of fun: touring the campus, catching up with them, heading to the farmers market and traveling to a Natural History Museum about the Homestead Act(which made me realize I'm not quite sure how I feel about it-not as good as I thought!)
Ethan also turned 6 months old and we have his Drs appt this week to see how he's doing. He's definately starting to start teething a bit more now-poor little guy!
We headed down to Chicago to the Renegade Craft fair in Wicker Park-which was a lot of fun and I got a few x-mas gifts started-I can't believe it's that time of year already....
I also got the opportunity to go to the Packer game on Sunday night against the Bears. Tiff and I enjoyed a great game, lots of beer and tons of fun. I even got this pic with Leroy Butler-this was after I told him "I could take you" (yeah I know too many beers-he was really nice though). And ofcourse we beat the Bears!

We have a tooth!
So that's probably the most exciting news from this past weekend-we discovered that Ethan is getting his first tooth on Sunday. He's been doing really well though and hasn't been too cranky about it-hopefully that lasts!
We tried to take it a bit easy this past weekend since we had a couple of really busy weekends in a row and are packing up and heading to Nebraska this weekend-even thought I'm still not quite sure which direction it is in.
I also almost forgot to mention that Ethan now sleeps on his stomach, which totally scares the bejezeezes out of me-poor Justin, i make him check to make sure Ethan's breathing about twice a night right now-yes you can tell i'm a first time mom :)
We did get a lot accomplished though: we saw family, bought Ethan some much needed new clothes, a car seat, went on a hike to Seven Bridges in South Milwaukee and I'm sure there's much more that I'm forgetting-but here are some pics from the weekends' events.

Tons of Fun
here's a short recap of the weekend...
Saturday we headed out to the farmers market to pick up some last minute items for our shindig, finished cleaning and stopped by my work picnic for a little bit-Ethan got his first tattoo! a little turtle on his leg-unfortunately I forgot to snap a quick pic of that. We then raced home from there to get home about 15 minutes before our own Summer BBQ/housewarming/graduation party started(so typical of us and of course we didn't have the tables or chairs set up yet either). I was worried about not having enough room for everyone but it worked out great and the cooler weather that day helped too-Ethan enjoyed the party but didn't want to really eat or nap because he was afraid he'd miss out-no crabbiness though which was great.
On Sunday we headed over to the Zoo to meet up with Nick, Janet, Wilson, Graham and Louise. Tons of food and animals later we were ready to head home. Tons of fun though-it was our first year and we'll definately be going back. Also great weather.
We're planning on this weekend being a bit more low key, we'll see how that goes, we're still toying with the idea of heading up to Door County for a day. Never a dull moment-at least not until winter!

Love that you can bring your own beer to the zoo!

Not a fan of peas at all, but the homegrown squash was a hit yesterday!
mommy and me yoga class-kicked my butt!

State Fair induced thought
So we went to the State Fair last night and had a great time-we were only able to stay for a couple hours because we went after work and had some delays and then wanted to get Ethan home before it got too late. But while we were there I saw something that keeps sticking in my head. There was this company Hooked Productions that had bamboo and organic cotton t shirts and sweatshirts-so of course Justin and I were immediately drawn to it, but a lot of the shirts had the same saying "live the life you love-love the life you live". It's making me think-am I really living the life I love?
I mean I obviously love so much about my life-my family-immediate and extended, our house, our neighborhood etc, but there are some things that aren't quite what we wanted to be doing or where we wanted to be at this point. So I ask myself- Is it better to live by the phrase-you're only young once and live the life you love and take a chance on doing something/working somewhere that could potentially make you happier and more fulfilled, but also has the big risk associated with it? Hmmmm.....deep thoughts for an early Friday morning-thought I'd share!

5 Months
Wow I can't believe it's been 5 months already!
Ethan is continuously learning new things and amazing us every day. He is now rolling over and loves to scoot across the floor on his back and definitely has us all wrapped around his little finger. These past few weeks along with the few weeks coming up have/are going to be a whirlwind. There is so much going on...it seems like everything happens at the end of summer. We're gearing up for State Fair and Justin's dad's 60th birthday party this weekend and then Our BBQ and A'la Carte at the zoo next weekend.
