Greetings to Blade and Goodbye to Atlanta

Sam has a new cousin, who is not yet named, born last night. He has jokingly been called Blade, so welcome Blade.

In other news, we have been busy with packing and such, but we have added a lot of fun. First some random pictures. This cubs t-shirt was mine because my brother played on the cubs baseball team. And Nick is a huge cubs fan, so it was perfect. And made for some cute pictures.

My friend Sally and her daughter Izzy also came by for a playdate. Sam had a few lessons in sharing :)

Here is Izzy playing Sam's piano toy, which she now plays with and says "Baby Izzy play".

And many may remember Nick was gone for my 30th b-day and it was pretty lame. So he and some good friends of mine came up with a plan to thrown me a surprise going away/very early birthday party. I was invited to a girls night out with some of my closest GT friends. And Nick was going to hang out with a good friend, so that got my mom over to watch Sam. Nick dropped me off and we went to grab Margaritas. In I walked to a huge surprise! Unfortunately I sneezed at the crucial moment, so no perfect timing picture. But I was shocked. It was so sweet of them. I have the best husband and the greatest friends. We will miss all of you so much. Thanks for all the work and great acting. And thanks to everyone for coming.
