Jacket: Cinzia Picci (bought in Italy several years ago); Sweater: J Crew; Jeans: Lucky; Scarf: Echo; Boots: Vintage Lucchese (from the late 70s or early 80s: I bought them as old new stock from a store I used to work at when I was going to school); Belt: Ralph Lauren; Bracelets (top to bottom): Kate Spade, Target

It is going to be another long week.  We are finishing up moving Hubby's Gram to assisted living (although MIL corrects anyone who calls it assisted living--"its a senior community".)  Hence the lacking outfits from last week; I didn't really think you wanted to see my grubby packing clothes!  Gram's new apartment is beautiful with a great view of the forest preserve, and in my opinion, much nicer than her old apartment.  It does mean she is further from everyone, but only about 10-15 minutes further. 

As if that isn't depressing enough, we received the sad news last week that the Deacon who married Hubby and I and preformed the ceremony during which Babygirl was baptized (and has been a long time friend of Hubby's family) passed away suddenly due to an accident last week.  Hubby is traveling for work this week, and the services are mid week, so looks like Babygirl and I will be heading to this one without him.  Hubby was quite upset to find out that he was not going to be able to make any of the services.

On a happier note, we have plans to take Babygirl to Chicago to the Shedd Aquarium (she loves fishies!) on Friday.  We were going to take the train down because Babygirl is also currently a bit train obsessed, but I don't think the train is going to work out for us time-wise, so we will likely be driving down.

Hopefully we will also get a chance to stop at the Ugg store down there so I can replace my sorry looking pair (happy birthday me!)  I was trying to figure out how old my Uggs are the other day, and I'm pretty sure they are seven or eight years old!  I have the traditional suede ones, which I personally do not find very attractive, but they are one of the few pairs of boots that actually keep my feet warm throughout the winter here!  This time around the styles have gotten better looking; I think I want one of the smooth leather styles.  I'm sure there will be pictures in the near future!
