catching up

wow, it has been a while since my last post. That seems to be occurring more and more often lately. With school time starting it has been super busy here at the office and that means less and less blog time. Let me catch you up on what has been going on in my neck of the woods:
Last week I was out of town for a trade show. The first of many to come for James and I. Although I missed my family and felt like I was gone for sooooo long, it was nice to have some "me" time. and the 2 coworkers I went with our some great friends of mine, so even though it was work, it was really fun! When I got back, I came home to find my little one learned how to clap! I was so excited. She is just getting more cute and fun to play with each and every day. It seriously makes my heart melt! Here are some pictures from the fun times after the hard day of work and standing on your feet all day (in heels!) We actually got to go to the Queen Mary ( I've been wanting to go to the tattoo convention they have here for years. I didn't get to go to the convention, but visiting and eating on the boat was still so much fun and delicious!)

James and I finally tackled our living room wall! We bought these tree wall decals about a year ago and never used them until now. I am loving it! We hung pictures on twine and nailed them to the branches so they "hang" from the branches. Now we just have to decide what picture to put in the big green frame.

We went to a baseball game a couple weeks ago thanks to UPS and Smencils for hooking us up! We were 20 seats away from the field. seriously, amazing seats! And Chloe just had a ball! (no pun intended). She laughed and smiled and "cheered" all night.

Now I am taking the time to just hang out and focus on my family, I can't seem to get enough of them! I know my post have been scarce lately and I thank you for your patience. Being a full time working mommy that has many business trips and meetings really wares a girl out! I appreciate your loyalty to reading my barely there post and I still love catching up with all of you on your blogs!
