Recently I was on a farm just outside of Chicago for my friend Esther’s baby shower.  I’ve known Esther for many many years. Since elementary school. As kids, we used to spend hours perfecting our dance and gymnastic routines and dressing up in ridiculous costumes.  And just because we are now in our 30′s doesn’t mean that ANY of that has changed.  Well, maybe not so many gymnastic routines these days but CERTAINLY plenty of dancing and most definitely costume wearing with whatever we can get our hands on.  And we did this the ENTIRE weekend.  I hadn’t laughed so hard (or eaten so much) as I did when I was there.  What a great way to celebrate life.  Congratulations Esther and Dan!  I can’t wait to meet baby Crazy Horse!
