Weekend whirlwind




Mac and Auntie Laura






Poor, neglected blog! I know, I'm late with my posts and I'm sorry. But hopefully a few new pictures of Mac will make it worth the wait!

We had a fun-filled, busy weekend up in Lake Geneva. Friday night was all about relaxing after a long week at work. Saturday my sister, Laura, flew in for a 24-hour whirlwind wedding celebration for our good friend, Katie. It was overcast in the morning, but luckily the sun came out just in time for the ceremony in downtown Lake Geneva. Then we all headed over to Lake Delevan for a beautiful outdoor cocktail hour on the water followed by more eating, drinking, dancing and fun. I'll post some pictures from the wedding once my sister sends them to me (our camera is missing yet again!)

Sunday we were all up bright and early to head back to the city. Our good friends Jen and Damien were in town, so we met up with them for brunch at Deleece. They just opened a new location in Lake View a few weeks ago and it was, well, delicious! Later, Dan headed to school and I was able to meet up with another one of my good friends, Denise, who happened to be in town, too.

Perhaps the best news of the weekend was that (drumroll, please...) we have officially decided to book our trip to Italy! The original plan is changing a bit as my entire family is now going to join us on the adventure. The best part is that Mac gets to come along and we're so excited! We're going to go over Thanksgiving, so if any of you have suggestions on things to do and see, please send them my way!

Now if I can only teach Mac to say, "Ciao!" before we leave...
