1. I joined a golf league with 3 friends, and I'm really enjoying playing again; I played fairly often in my "former life" but I hadn't even picked up a golf club since Caroline was born. It is nice to be outside, getting exercise, and enjoying some "girl" time - especially because my foursome is more interested in snacks, drinks, and socializing than golf scores. My kind of golfing. :) I'm also in a book club and taking a yoga class.
2. With the end of weaning in sight, I feel like an actual person with an actual life again. I'll be sad when William and I are all done with nursing (very soon), but I am really enjoying the freedom. :)
3. I booked my travel to Vegas with my Colorado girls in August. To say that I'm excited is a slight understatement.
4. I booked our trip home to Chicago in July. All of us can't wait to spend quality time with both sides of the family. While we are there, we'll be heading up to WI for a family wedding and a family reunion. Can't wait to see everybody!
5. I'm halfway through booking our trip to Steve's 10 year USAFA reunion in September. It will be our first trip away from the kids since William was born. And it includes some of my favorite people. Thanks, Mom, for taking my babies while we're gone!
6. I'm counting down the days until the Cobb/Shertzer/Clark family vacation in the Poconos!!!!! Can't wait to be with you guys, and I really can't wait to meet the newest member of the compound, Mr. Benjamin Richard Shertzer. I think we are doing way too much traveling in the next few months, but it is all so good, I couldn't pass up on any of it.
7. We are highly anticipating Caroline's first ballet recital next weekend. Grandma, Aunt Melisa, and Penny are flying in for the show. I can't wait to have my 4 best girls all in one place!
8. Steve started traveling again. :(
9. Since no blog post is complete without pictures and I've taking NONE for weeks, I rushed around and took a few shots of some of the gardening projects I've been working on. My monkeys decided they needed to be included in the pictures as well. Sorry the pictures aren't great!
The view from my kitchen door - it makes me so happy while I cook!
This sad little gardener was not happy to be left inside this morning:
This one actually begged me to take her picture! Maybe she'll stop giving me dead eyes this summer?
10. We've got 2 fun BBQs planned with great friends this weekend. I hope your weekend plans include lots of leisure time or exciting events. Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

Halleluia! I was having Clark withdrawals. Glad you're back on here. I know I have a good excuse, but I keep forgetting it's Memorial Day this weekend. . . I'm kind of bummed to not have a fun trip planned, although snuggling with Ben is a nice consolation!
I am excited to see you in September as well. It's sounds like you have a busy summer coming up. I am sure you will have fun with it all. Thanks for the update. I was having withdrawal too.
i am still hoping the reunion will work out!
Looks like you are really busy this summer. Can't wait to hear about them.
