The Blandford Family: Our Ordinary Weekend

Life is back to "normal" after the holidays and we are loving it! The holiday decorations have been taken down - and as much as we miss our little artificial tree (yes, I am a Muskovich, and had an artificial tree and loved it!) - we were happy when the final crate made it down to storage until next year. With all the holiday parties and events over, we had what most would consider a very boring weekend and loved every minute of it!

On Friday, Lucy and I met Beth and the girls at the Garfield Park Conservatory and it was great!! The conservatory has so many different spaces filled with trees, plants, water fountains and a children's slide that Abigail went down again, and again, and again.....giving Beth and me and our babes some time to hang out! Being inside the Conservatory is like being in the tropics in the middle of winter. It was such a fun afternoon!

On Saturday, we took Lucy to the French Market in the city. It was just like being in a market in Paris with lots of stands for sandwiches, pastries and coffee. Joe found a stand that served only french fries and beer so was in heaven. We had fun taking Lucy around the market, hoping that she starts to like the french culture very early on so we can take her to our favorite city! We then met friends and one of Lucy's oldest friends, Isla (they have been friends for 2 months) out for dinner in the city. The babies slept right through their first dinner together but the adults had a great time!

Overall, it was a pretty uneventful weekend but exactly what we needed!

Just a random pic but I thought Lucy looked so old with her hair pulled to the side
