I finally have a few minutes where I am sitting down drinking my morning coffee. Asher just had a bath, diaper change, and is fast asleep now. Finally --- a chance to blog!
Life has been crazy in the Atkins' household this summer. We had a great 4th of July and are thankful that we decided not to venture downtown for the fireworks to meet up with friends. We were very ambitious originally to think that we might haul the stroller and all that goes with baby downtown on the the busiest weekend in downtown Chicago. Thankfully, we decided to stay home and have friends over the following night.
This past weekend, Will's parents and brother Ben (the creepy uncle) came into town to spend time with Asher (and us... maybe). It was great to have help with the little guy and Grandma Atkins was more than willing to spend time with him while I went downtown with Emily or while the guys went to a Cubs game Sunday night.
Ben is staying all week since the Pitchfork Music Festival is this coming weekend. Will and I have went to this great festival for the past 2 years and are hoping next year (2010) will be Asher's first time attending. Although he has expressed great interest in bands such as the Flaming Lips and Beirut, we think it would be best if he opted out this year. He is, however, excited to spend some time with a few of our dear friends who are giving up their weekend evening to hang out with him.
The following weekend we are headed to Michigan for a shower that was postponed from April due to bedrest. I am looking forward to celebrating Asher's birth with friends and family and thankful that our family friend Robin is still up for planing the shower -- 3 months later than planned.
August is non-stop greatness overall. I'm going to Ohio to celebrate Liz's upcoming nuptuals to Art, we're having tons of friends come visit the weekend of the 7th (mostly guys, but CAROLYN is coming, too!!), and then I'm headed to Colorado to fullfill my matron of honor duties and help Kristi plan her October wedding. Will is off work for 2-weeks in August and so excited to have a break.
Here is a cutie cute picture of Asher from yesterday. He looks great in orange, don't you think?

Looking forward to the shower next week! Heard that Grandma Carolyn saw you online through the webcam. Would be fun to see you sometime. Just installed wireless communication -- have been stuck with dial-up for too long!
