Yesterday I went up to St. Cloud to visit Shannon–it was been forever since we were able to get together. Once contest season hits, I really don’t see or talk to anyone for about a month and it was quite a bit before that, that we were able to hang out. So, it was excellent.
We did our traditional Caribou Coffee stop and then window shopped at the mall for a while. I’m starting to waddle a little slower these days, so we just meandered at a leisurely pace gabbing the whole time. She had seen an adorable tiger stocking hat the other day so we went to check it out and we decided that it would be just perfect for the baby boy come fall/winter. Plus it’s a TIGER! How wonderful–see!
Then we made our way back to her house and hung out some more with baby Xavi. He’s just about to turn 1 (how the time flies!) and is so interactive these days. Oh, and he just loves to wave. He’s a hoot. When I pulled out my phone to take a picture he was completely enamored with it and wanted to have his face right in the lens–it was hilarious.
I had such a blast with you too!!! I can’t wait to see you again!!
