Friday Night Lights

As you all know, we recently moved from Lake Bluff to Lake Forest (the difference of about 3 miles) and Lake Forest has not disappointed. Lake Forest High School looks like a small private college campus. Consisting of an east and west campus (east campus pictured below). It's incredible. When we first moved to Illinois last year, and drove around looking at the area, we had NO IDEA this gigantic building was a public high school. There's a bike path that goes right in front of the school (the path Devin and I always ride) and since Emily has come along, she and I will navigate our walks/runs to be able to pass in front of this school. I just love it.

So Friday night was Lake Forest's last home football game, and we decided to go. It was so fun to walk through the gate, hear the band playing, and see the middle and high school kids completely not paying attention to the game, and instead immersing themselves in socializing. I often feel like I'm the same person I was in high school, and that I'm not that far off from that age....boy was Friday night a reality check. Those high schoolers were fabulous entertainment. All of them dressed to the "T" and wanting so bad to inpress his/her fall crush. We sat behind the band, and I loved dancing/moving Emmie to the beat...she loved it too. Of course my eyes often went to the cheerleaders (yes, I was a cheerleader) and I have to say, our Starr's Mill squad was much better! Sorry LFHS Cheerleaders. I'm really glad we went, and will definitely be going to more of the games next year.

We got home from the game just in time for Emily's next feeding session. Devin likes to hold her right before she eats, because he can get her to suck on his nose. I tried to fight this for a while...kinda gross...but he considers it his bonding time with her...so whatever. And now I have embraced it. It's pretty funny to watch her go at it on the tip of his nose.

A little closer look...

Josh and Matt...this is for you guys:

Yesterday Devin and I made homemade pizzas for dinner as we watched the Vikings vs. Packers game. They turned out really good, and of course, we had to document:
