Laura and Justin's party

Laura's friend Gwen threw an engagement party for Laura and Justin at the Red Room on Saturday night. We'd been there before, but never for a private party. It was really nice. They had a little balcony where you could look out over broadripple blvd. Ariana stayed the night with us that night, so we could stay out late (which for us means like 11:00 or 11:30). I have had poison ivy on my neck, chest, and face for a week...hence the very high necked shirt :)

Mom and Abbie have been helping out with child care the last 2 weeks too, since our day care has been closed. Mom watched the girls last week and Abbie is here this week watching them. I dont' know what we'd do if mom had a career other than teaching. Can't wait to see everyone this weekend (except for Joe, Mel and Mike - and we'll see you guys next Thursday!).
