Storms, trains and dinners with friends!

Well, the home computer was out of commission for a short time while we suffered through the aftermath of some big thunderstorms hereabouts. Lots of trees down and, most importantly, interrupted phone and internet service! Yikes!

In the interim, we've been to our adored Gina's house for dinner with her adorable and fun family. Here's Livi with Peanut:















I remember Maria (Peanut) when she was Livi's age, so her gorgeosity is a big shock to me! But she's so cute, it's hard to object!

Sunday while we went to Chesterfield Mall, Livi went to the Glencoe trains with her grandparents and got attacked by a mysterious burn monster. No idea how it happened, but it's black, it's oozy and Livi screams a lot. Think we will be avoiding Glencoe in future!

















Then we went Sunday night to Mongolian BBQ with our beloved Tuccis and their kids! On the right side below is Livi with her idol, Grace Marie. She could NOT stop hugging Miss Tucci! She followed her around like a puppy! (a well-accessorized puppy, if I may say so...)
