Here in Chicago

Well, our vacation in Chicago is winding down to an end. I'm looking forward to updating some photos when I return home at the end of the week. But it has been such a great vacation. My husband and I have spent some great evenings out just the two of us to rekindle some couple time while my friend's little sister (who we took with us) watches Brynn in the loft that we rented for the week. (Would had been perfect if the Red Wings could just finish up the Stanley Cup of course!) And during the day we have showed Brynn a lot of new experiences that she has just been eating up. We took her to the aquarium which she's loved and also taken her swimming in the pool for the first time. She looks out the window of our 36th floor loft at the traffic below and is like, "Wow, mom....what's all that stuff below?" She just recently started muttering "Da da" and she said "ba ba (bottle)" today as well. It's been so nice to get away from some of the worries and stress of her recent health problems at home and I'm looking forward to returning home with a new easier...more carefree attitude when we return. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Sounds like a great trip. Our week has been good other than feeling like we are in limbo waiting for our twin boys to be healthy enough to leave the hospital and come home.

It is nice to get away from reality for a while. So glad it's been relaxing for you. You guys definitely need it.

yeah for the new words. She is growing up.

That sounds so relaxing. I am glad you are having a good time.

Hopefully the Red wings win on Friday...there are no other chances.

Nice to hear the more 'relaxed' tone of this post. You needed it.
Hope you can maintain some of that inner peace when you get back.

Looking forward to the pictures!!

I am so glad that your having a good time. Sometimes a break from reality is what we all need. I am a little jealous you have gotten to spend some "alone" time with hubby!!

Happy 7 months! =)

Glad you are having a good time on vacation - being able to show your kids "the world" is one of the funnest things about being a parent (IMO). Enjoy!
