Ruby and I made (delicious!) chocolate chip pancakes this morning for breakfast. It's safe to assume if Ruby and I are in the kitchen, chocolate will be involved.

Patrick couldn't wait to go to Grandma and Papa's house. Shoes, check. Hat, check. Penguin backpack filled with toy trains, check.

Thanksgiving in Queens.
During my drive to New York this morning, I was reflecting on all the people and things I have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. I played back the pictures from the last 328 days in my head, realizing that in a sense I have been celebrating Thanksgiving all year long. The blessings are countless....parents who made it so I have always known love; three sisters that are always there for me; the cutest darn nieces and nephews that never fail to make me smile; three amazing, dynamic and loving brother-in-laws; friends who feel like family; co-workers who have proved to be so much more; getting paid to do something I love; the health of my family and friends; and the list goes on and on. Happy Thanksgiving all. Wishing you a gratitude-filled holiday season.

Starbucks always tastes better out of their holiday cups...I wonder why that is.

November 21, 2010: Day 325
A pre-Thanksgiving celebration shared with cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, parents, brother-in-laws, and sisters. Aunt Carol even showed me how to make her famous lasagna. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for my family, the memories and certainly the feast we shared.

Couldn't imagine a better way to pass the day then coloring and playing with Mara all day.
A lazy day all around.

Shannon, Robert and I didn't see this sign until AFTER we accidentally crashed the High School Reunion. Ooops! They were serving champagne...who are we to say no?

The city lights looks looked so pretty in the "bean" at Millennium Park.
Admiring "Sunday in the Park"...
Goodnight, Chicago.

All packed for Chicago! First thing I packed was my running sneakers...is it possible that I'm actually starting to like running!?

She'll probably kill me for posting this picture...but it certainly made me smile when I ran into my mom at CVS tonight. Like mother, like daughter.

Closing out the weekend with a mug of hot cocoa and a scoop of Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream.

"If there's a light in everybody, send out your ray of sunshine."
Perfect fall day.

As I was cleaning an old drawer, I found this check I had saved from when Lauren and I opened a joint account in college to pay for rent and bills. I instantly laughed out loud when I found it, after having not seen it for almost six years. I was flooded with great memories of the "Back House" and one of the greatest years. It's amazing how finding one tiny scrap of paper can affect your mood.

I drive by this house almost every single day and have never noticed this tire swing hanging in the backyard until today. Simple, yes. But it certainly made me smile.

Candlelit yoga, take-out thai for dinner, and pumpkin beer in a frosty mug is recipe for a perfect Friday night.

I think about her every day, but for some reason Gram was in my thoughts even more than usual today.

November 1, 2010: Day 305
While driving home tonight, for some reason the sunset reflecting in my side mirror reminded me of the Irish blessing...
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face...
