Friday Brain Dump

• I am SO GLAD it's almost the weekend
• Not only do I desperately need some Margot snuggles but my cousin and very best friend Lauren had her baby this week and we are booking it up i-5 to meet this new little guy
• Margot is over the moon about it. She has been asking for her "baby cousin in auntie Lauren's tummy" for months now
• Somehow though we have three social engagements between now and then, a work party I have to make an appearance at tonight, dinner with church friends afterwards, which I am so looking forward to, and a huge family party Saturday which we'll hit on the way to Seattle
• We are all about Madeline books in our house right now
• I made they best shepherds pie this past week and I'm still thinking about it. Clearly it needs a repeat and a blog post.
• Happy Friday! May your weekend be fruitful and restful!
