currently

cheers-ing: with our favorite Cincinnati beer, after bringing back a good stock from last weekend's trip. We have great local brewing options here in Michigan too, but we do miss Rhinegeist.

organizing: Hendrik's playroom. He's quite good at putting away his toys in the correct drawers (he gets a couple of type-A tendencies from me, let's just say), but there's enough of an accumulation of toys and books and coloring supplies here that I'm constantly getting the itch to get things arranged just so. And am excited to share a tour of the whole playroom next week!

dreaming: up a fun girls' weekend for the end of the month with a girlfriend with whom I'm wayyy overdue to catch up. Eyeing Cafe Patachou for a brunch outing, so we can do what we do best (talk + eat pancakes), but any Indianapolis suggestions welcome!

buying: "top-things" (as he would call them) for the ice cream sundae bar I'm planning for Hendrik's triple scoop third birthday bash. He's pretty excited about the big 3 - when he sees one leaf on the ground he shouts, "It's fall! Time for my birthday!"

listening: to The Hunts. They opened for OAR at the concert we went to last month, and I've been listening to this album on repeat ever since. They're 7 siblings, and the great harmony in their songs shows it! The overall vibe reminds me of Of Monsters and Men, who we saw in concert at the very beginning of the summer, so that's fun.
