This was a remakably busy weekend! First, it’s Mom’s and Dad’s fifth anniversary. Just think, if they hadn’t found each other, I wouldn’t be here! So, I’m pretty excited about that.
Saturday started off, as usual, hanging out with Dad. Dad has a morning workout program that he puts me through to make sure my physical development is keeping up. Once we did that, Dad took me outside (which I love) and I watched him do a bunch of yard work (a “bunch” relative to our pretty small yard!). I had never noticed this before, but there were two dead evergreen bushes right next to our front door. Dad knew that Mom wanted those taken down, but he didn’t have the necessary equipment…so, we took a road trip out to Home Depot and bought a hacksaw. We got back and Dad sawed down the bushes and threw them out.
Mom came down and fed me and after a nap and lunch, Dad and I took off for our weekly trip to Dominick’s. But the highlight of the afternoon was that I went to my first concert ever at Wicker Park Fest. Which band did we see? One of Mom’s and Dad’s favorite: Bishop Allen. We saw a bunch of friends there: Reshma, Chris, and Monica, but Mom was stressed the whole time — she was afraid that the loud music was damaging my ears! As soon as Bishop Allen’s set was over, Mom sprinted away with me while Dad went up and talked to Christian. (Woah, how many people have their own Wikipedia pages!?)
Sunday morning was a bit unusual. Dad and I started with my usual morning workout, but instead of taking off for Starbucks, Dad tossed me in the car and we went to have breakfast with Christian at Swim. Christian was really nice and fun. I now know a rock star!
Sunday afternoon brought even more new friends, including Charu, Kurt, and Jui. They were so nice and fun. Charu is a doctor (Mom and Dad have sooooo many doctor friends!) and gave Mom and Dad another lecture (I mean, opinion) that they should be more aggressive with my vaccinations. Charu & Kurt just got married (days after getting engaged!) , so there were lots of stories being bandied about. Jui seemed totally scared to hold me, but eventually proved her maternal skills by making me really comfortable and happy!
Uncle Danny was around all weekend, but he was mostly working on his own research. He stopped by, hung out with me, and took lots of pictures, but I didn’t get a ton of quality time with him (yet).
