Steak Night

Could there be anything better than steak night with friends? Nope! Costco for the win! Also pictured is brunch with her buddy (and Benjamin's bestie), Wes.

Frog Party

Julia is back in the swing of things with work and friends. She attended a frog-themed going away party for their friend Colin. Lisa and Tony spent the weekend in Boulder with Ethan; check out that view! Miriam successfully ran the half-marathon in DC!

Welcome Back to St. Paul and No Oprah

Julia stepped right back to her life in St. Paul. The night of her arrival, Benjamin, Wes, and Julia went to a hockey game. She went bike riding with Benjamin, Wes, Andy, and Matt. They had band practice. She connected with her gal pals (no pics) for craft time and yoga. In between, they played some Mario Cart and ate some yummy food. The official welcome back party with all her friends was last night. :)  

In a quest to meet Oprah, Vera, Maggie, Vickie, and I went to the National Portrait Gallery of Art--she was a no-show! :( But there were lots of cool crafts, and Oprah's portrait was everywhere--LOL. Regardless, I'll take time with the girls over Oprah any day. And spoiler alert--I didn't score tickets for the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Steven ran into our favorite Georgetowner, Elizabeth, at Trader Joe's. All good things come from and at that place. 

And speaking of favorites... Mom spent the week in Rochester with Aunt Linda and Uncle Tim. She also got to see Aunt Ruthie!

Home for the Week

We enjoyed having Julia around this week. Everything was brighter, sweeter, nicer...all around wonderful. She had family time, friend time, self-care time, and cat time.
