reLAKEation

we had an amazing time this past weekend.  we spent friday night in the 'burbs with our friends kim & mike eating pizza and drinking too much wine.  we also taught kim how to play euchre.  she loved it!  although, i think mike loves us more for [finally!] teaching her how to play.

on saturday morning we drove up to wisconsin to relax on pewaukee lake.  we've spent a lot of weekends there this summer and truly enjoy every minute of it.  [thank you, becca!]  we then headed up to madison on sunday afternoon to cheer on a few friends who participated in the ironman.  talk about an inspiring event to watch.  we're pretty proud folks over here.

going away gathering

some of favorites hosted a little going away gathering for us at belmont harbor this weekend.  talk about amazing weather and fantastic city views!  we ate, drank and were merry until the harbor closed.  no tears... yet... but another great night in chicago, which makes the thought of leaving this amazing city so much harder.  luckily, we received a lot of requests (wine induced? lets hope not!) to come visit.  friends, you're welcome anytime!  also, *special thanks* to mary & mike for organizing this fun night!
