This weekend is full of celebrating. On top of just buying her first house today (2 blocks from ours!!), April is turning 30 tomorrow and Grace's birthday is today! A bunch of us will be out and about tomorrow night for both their birthday celebrations. It should be yet another fun filled off -the- hook weekend. Speaking of birthdays, we celebrated Ben's big day a few weeks ago and I just remembered I had this photo in my phone. Every year he jumps in Lake Superior no matter what the weather is like. This particular day was cold, rainy, and extremely wavy. You could still see some ice floating in the water! 
For one of his birthday gifts he received a bottle of Root which I had heard about a long time ago thanks to Kate. Not only is the packaging super awesome, but it tastes pretty good too! The ingredients of this ancient liquor are pretty neat, but I was worried about the anise (not a big fan). Fortunately, it tastes more like spicy sarsaparilla. I enjoy sipping mine on the rocks. .............
I'm off to catch up on some work before the mayhem starts, so no extra links today. Have a great weekend!

I do not know how he got himself into that icy water! I just don't think I could do it. Enjoy your weekend!!
ROOT! ahhhhh! I want it so badly now! have to go downtown and buy some........STAT.
I've never had Root but it sounds so yummy! Hope you had a nice weekend. You have a lovely blog!
i'm put off my anise as well, as with licorice tastes.
but it looks interesting. wonder if they sell this in australia?
Happy birthdays and congratulations all around! Ben's swimming tradition is so neat. He is quite brave - and here I was feeling like a hearty sort for swimming in my sister's 70 degree pool over the weekend :)
Kim- He doesn't last too long! It's pretty freezing. He loves swimming no matter what season it is though. Sometimes he'll wear a wetsuit so he can stay out longer.
