Chicago Trip

Well, we are back from Chicago! We had SO much fun. Traveling alone with Kate really wasn't too bad. Not something I'd want to do every week, but it was a very successful trip and definitely worth it. It was so much fun to spend time with my sister, Steve, and of course Micah! And just neat to have our kids together. One of my favorite moments was when Micah was playing with a little teething toy. He crawled over to Kate (sitting in the bouncy seat) and laid it on her chest! What a good boy to share. :) We spent all day and all night watching the Olympics, deciding which sports our children would compete in. We also took advantage of the beautiful weather (in the 70's and 80's!) by spending as much time outside as possible. It was wonderful. Kate had never really been outside much with the exception of going to and from the car! She liked going for a walk. Our stay was over much too quickly, but all good things must come to an end. When Kate got home, I really do think she was glad to be home! As soon as we set her carseat down in the house, she got a big smile on her face and even started to laugh a little bit! She was just in a very good mood and she seemed to relax a bit. Thankfully we are home for about 2 weeks now to give Kate a break and get back into her schedule before we uproot her again and head to Atlanta. So, here are some pictures from the trip.

The kiddos in their car seats. Micah liked to look at Kate, especially when she was fussing, like "What's her problem?"
