One Year Down

On Tuesday Ryan took his final test of the year--hooray! It is so great to have him around more and not have to think about him studying (which I'm sure is much more of a relief to him than me). He did great this year and worked really hard, and we are really enjoying our time here (although back in February I had my doubts about surviving the subzero temperatures in the Midwest).

To celebrate him completing his first year, our fabulous friends, Logan and Ashley, took Isaac for the night and we went out on a date. It was wonderful (thanks guys!). Isaac did great with Ashley (or so she says), though when she first came over he thought she was here to babysit the house, and that he was going out with us. He kept waving to her and saying "bye! bye!"

First, we scored some free food at the new Chipotle restaurant that just opened up. I ordered the spiciest thing on the menu in hopes of inducing labor, but she's being stubborn and staying put for now. The food was great. We took it to-go and ate at a nearby park.

After that, we did a little shopping and bought little Isaac a new book (he is fascinated with word books lately--so we found a "100 first words book" and he loves to point out the dog, ball, and car. Only 97 more words to master.

After shopping we took a long walk around Grey's Lake where I made Ryan hold my hand pretty much the whole time because there was no stroller to push. He was a trooper and hardly complained at all :)

After the walk we headed home and Ryan whipped up a batch of Orange Julius for Ashley and Logan and I. It was a great night and a great start to the summer. Only 9 days 'til my due date! Something tells me I'll have to don that ugly brown shirt for one more photo op! For every one's sake I hope she hurries up!
