Week 25 and The Addams Family

It's Sunday and it's the end of yet another week - week 25. Baby McKenna keeps kicking away - so much that you can actually see my stomach move. I'm feeling great and am just in awe at how fast my pregnancy is going.

We forgot to take pictures at our weekly dinner, so Brian took one before we headed out on Saturday night. I measured about 40.5 inches.


On Saturday night after dinner at White Chocolate Grill, we headed downtown Chicago with Brian's mom & dad and brother, Eric to see The Addams Family at the Oriental Theatre. It starred Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia. We really enjoyed it and we had a great time with his family.

We have now made it 7 days without T.V. Last Sunday around 10:30pm, the lamp in our T.V. went out. Brian has since ordered a new one, but of course it won't be in until this coming week - we hope. I'll be honest, yes, we watch T.V. - a lot of T.V. It is what we do at night. Before dinner, during dinner, after dinner - it's awful, but yes the T.V. is always on.

Not this week.

This week we put together a 1000 piece puzzle that I received for Christmas. It is a portrait of Cinderella's grand arrival to the castle. We were planning on framing it for McKenna's room. We just weren't planning on putting it together this early. Plans change when there is no T.V to watch.

You may be wondering why we don't just watch one of our other T.V.'s in the house - everyone has more than one, right??? Well, no...not us...not anymore...thanks to our realtor, Brian Ernst. He advised us to take the plasma off our our bedroom wall. (it wasn't that crazy of an idea - our house did sell in only 19 days - but still)

So, why am I getting into all of this, well...after a quiet week of puzzling, reading, and playing with Trippy we headed over to my parents house for some of the playoff football we've been missing. Ahhh T.V....

Dad made me a decaf and everyone else got a decaf with Bailey's
Trippy got her own puppacino of whipped cream - yum!
