Everyone needs a "Good Luck Cricket"!

The BEST part of the week, by far, was being able to hear the baby's heartbeat!  Exciting!!!  And because she had to do soooo many blood tests we had hours just to ourselves, a rare event at this time in life. 

Bri and I were headed to her early morning Dr. apt. and our taxis driver was showing us his "Good Luck Charm"........ This huge cricket will certainly live the good life as the driver seemed to love him (not as much as I love "Jiminy Cricket", plus he can sing)

They have street sweepers that are constantly sweeping with their homemade brooms...... 

We helped with some of the scenery for Bri and Star's class play.  So sad we won't be able to watch it..... perhaps it will get an Emmy.

SO cute.... and disturbing all in one!

Our healthy IKEA meal for the start of our girl's night out!  It was a good thing too because.....

we bought a bit of chocolate!
