quick chicago trip

we did a quick trip to chicago this weekend so tim could attend a farewell party for his friend ryan who is moving to germany. i was supposed to go to the party downtown as well, but stayed back with declan at the last minute since he started running a fever. despite congestion and a low-grade fever, he was a very good and happy boy all weekend.

we were going to meet our newlywed friends tina and andy for breakfast on sunday morning without the baby but had a last minute change of plans and they came up to the 'burbs for breakfast at the house. we had a lot to catch up on and hadn't seen them since their october wedding (which you can read all about on her fun blog http://with-this-ring-i-thee-obsess.blogspot.com). since i had to stay in saturday night i was so happy to see friends, my weekend wasn't a bust after all!


always entertained by andy!



declan did so well in the car both ways, barely letting out a peep except his usual babbling e-i-e-i, da da, uh-oh, ba ba
he was quite the bookworm on the trip home today! he turns all the pages and studies each book for several minutes until i hand him a new one. i kept cracking up from the front seat and realized i better capture on film.

thanks for the new postings. we sure appreciate all the photos. i wouldn't be surprised if Declan was actually reading his books! glad he was such a good little traveler-maybe a trip to michigan could be in your near future!

That is so funny, we have all the same books for Elias! Does Declan love the Elmo book when he presses the buttons and makes it sing. Eli LOVES that... although he has ripped out most of the pop ups. :(
