So after spending 2 weeks in St. Joe catching up with family & friends who are nearby I took the Southshore train (an old and familiar friend) to Chicago (with a short detour in Valparaiso to spend the night with the Prindles) and after 2 weeks apart (which felt like an eternity) I was reunited with my husband! We spent most of the day hanging out with our long-time friend Beth (meeting her newest addition Davis).

Then...6am flight to Boston! We spent 6 glorious days hanging out with the Mountcastles' with their newest addition, Ian.

Honestly, with our own bundle of joy on the way I was a little nervous about seeing life with a newborn "up-close & personal"...however in reality I was reassured that we could do it too. Seeing Megan & Paul in their new roles as parents this early in the game was a blessing for both Fuad & I, Every step of the way I felt like "If they can do it, we can do it" and being in household where all of this is so new felt really comforting. With Ian being only a month old, Megan & Paul were both sympathetic to my pregnancy sign & symptoms, they had all kinds of interesting books to peruse AND we got to try our hand and holding & comforting & playing with Ian.
We enjoyed talking some walks, sharing some divine meals, the maiden voyage of Ian's first meal out at a restaurant, and simply hanging out together. It's the simple things in life, you know. Good friends, family, a good meal & a shared smile along the way.
