Our Trip to Chicago

Chris & the boys headed out to Chicago last Thursday with a stayover in St. Louis to break up the drive. We had a GREAT time!!

The hotel in St. Louis was fabulous to us - even getting milk for Nick from a convenience store down the street for us - saving me the hassle with the boys. They even had little toys for each of the boys - which they loved.

We got to see lots of family and the boys really enjoyed it. Nick, unfortunately was sick, but as long as we kept his fever was down, he was his happy giggly self. Jake kept everyone in stitches with his antics and his ability to mimic ANYTHING he hears! And Jake enjoyed his Vacation Bed immensely - even wanting to sleep in it once we got home.

Matt was able to join us Friday, so he was around for all the fun of the weekend. And most importantly, he was able to assist in the drive back. I seriously underestimated the complications of doing that on my own - at least until Nick is a little bit bigger.

Sorry - no pics to share this time. We have about enough time to get through laundry before we need to pack up and head to Scottsdale for Thanksgiving. Uncle Sean is flying in to make the drive with us - he doesn't know what awaits!
