Winter Break...

Enjoyed beautiful weather! The other day it was 50 degrees! We met Maggie and Ethan and Ellie at Lincoln Park Zoo. It was SO cute to watch the boys run around! Last year when we went to the zoo Jack was just a tiny little baby in his infant carrier.... now he seems so "grown up". It was fun to see Ethan and Jack be little boys playing together. It's just amazing.

Jack and I have had fun playing together. Of course, I didn't get as much done as I wanted. But I think it is more important to use the the time for us to bond (or at least that is what I tell myself ;-) We did get to visit a lot of friends and family, which is also important. I always enjoy playing "pretend stay at home mom". We met Naomi and her mom Eleanor at Little Beans Cafe which is always a good time!

Mom (grandma :) came down and babysat while I went to the Dr. and then we got to hang out. Which was long over due.

We went to the park a lot. I LOVE where we live! We are in walking distance of the park, zoo, and beach. And pretty much any errand we need (groceries, drug stores...) It's easy to "stay at home" here and not feel claustrophobic. We get stuff done AND get fresh air!

Jack gives great hugs! I melt when he stops what he is doing, comes over to me, says "ya-ya" and gives me an amazing hug! (I remember when I would see Sean do it to Margaret and get jealous and hope that Jack would do it too.... now he does! yeay!)
