Meeting Addison

Long time, no blog! For the past four weeks we have been working nights and it has reeked havoc on our social lives! Now that we are finished, we decided to take a trip down to Rockford, IL to meet Jason and Jen's new addition. Addison Nathan Clark (by name alone destined to be a great Cub fan) is now 5 weeks old. He was born on the luckiest day ever 7/7/07! Hopefully that luck won't spill over to the Cubs!! Addison slept through the first half of our visit... through both lunch and two games of bowling. It was pretty impressive that the bowling alley has smoke free afternoons; good for young babies' lungs and for adults that don't want to stink! Ari let the lead slip away to Jason both games and Jen and I split the wins. We went back to their place to catch the end of the Cubs/Cardinals game, we won't talk about the result because this is a happy blog entry! We also played Balderdash, which is always a ton of fun... I am not just saying that because I won. Finally, it was time for us to go. I was so exhausted that I passed out as soon as we got on the highway. Poor Ari had to drive through monsoon conditions to get us home safely... but not before we stopped at Fazoli's for a late dinner. (That one was for you Laura!!) We really enjoyed meeting Addison and can't wait to watch him grow... into a Cardinals fan?!
