Dave's Spring Break

Well we just finished a nice week with Dave at home. We took the boys to the museum (and forgot our camera) the zoo and to Chicago! Earlier this week I had my ultrasound. The baby is growing and has all it's parts, at least the ones we could see! This baby is either very stubborn, or very modest. It had it's legs locked closed the entire time! I was quite sad, and even started crying...pathetic, I know. I blame it on all the extra hormones floating around in me! Dave got to be there, so it made it even harder to not find out. My doctor is going to try and come up with an excuse to get me in again next month, so keep your fingers crossed for me! I know some people love the element of surprise, but I am not one of those people. I like everything ready to go!!

Below are a bunch of pictures from our week.


For some reason the boys all wanted maps at the zoo, they have never wanted them before, but they loved looking at the animals on the map and telling us where we should go!

The boys loved riding the huge ferris wheel on Navy Pier.

Chicago is a really neat city, we had such a nice time just walking around looking at everything. The boys really wanted to go swimming in the lake, and I finally got to try Garrett's popcorn, SO yummy!

If you are Dave, or a member of his family you can't go somewhere that has a Del Taco and not eat there at least once...we ate there twice. Luckily we all love it!!


We spent a good amount of time at Millennium Park, Caden could not get enough of the huge "jelly bean."
We had to stop by and look up the Sears Towers. We heard a lot of WOW's from the boys.
We had such a nice time being together as a family. It really made me realise how fantastic my three boys are. They get along so well together and are so kind and thoughtful. I think they are just wonderful and I am so grateful I get to be their mom. I also remembered how nice it is to have a hubby around! However, I am also very grateful to him and all his hard work in school. We are both doing what needs to be done for our family right now, and it feels good to have such a great companionship where we both understand that!

Sounds like you had a great week. Isn't chicago so great. I'm sad for you that you didn't get to see what or who your little one is. HOw nice for your doctor to understand and try again for you though. And I agree on the whole dental school companionship thing, it's not always easy but it makes it so much easier when you both understand how hard the other is working, thanks for the reminder.

I love the shot of the boys and the mirror, that is awesome!
I am so jealous that you went to chicago, that is the one place in america that I dream of going. the art institute has the best art in america - at least that is my personal opinion.
so glad you had a good time with your family and enjoyed a break.
