The Adventures of the HRGCs: Monkeying Around with Michelle

May 8, 2011

Finlay, Tyler and I just had a fabulous visit with my oldest friend, Michelle (aka. Auntie Michelle). Many drinks were shared, Fin got lots of kisses, and we stuffed our faces with a lot of yummy food! We did lots of walking and some fun tourist-y things like visiting some popular sights and enjoying a Ghost Tour.

Michelle helped me pick out some patio furniture and plan out the look/function of our very small porch. It will be really nice for me when Finlay is napping, and I am house-bound, to have an outdoor space I can be in while still in earshot. I'm really looking forward to tea and a book with some sunshine while Fin is in dreamland. Hopefully I am not in dreamland thinking that this will be a reality!

Also, Michelle and I went on a girls-only date while Fin and daddy hung out at home. We went out to The Superior and shared some treats and drinks and lots of catching up. It is a real special thing to have a friend with whom you can come together, after months of not seeing each other, and comfortably talk as though no time has passed. It's been a while since Michelle and I got to spend quality time together and it was a lot of fun and did wonders for my sanity!

Finlay just loved Michelle. He smiled at her all the time and finds her just as funny as I do, although we laugh at different things. Michelle is really good with him too! She read to Fin and played with his toys and made plenty of entertaining faces. Unfortunately, I was a terrible photographer this week (in that I didn't take any pictures!). But, Michelle took a few quality pics that I really enjoy and would love to share with you!
