Birthday Surprise

Last weekend we surprised our good friend Matt in Elmhurst for his 29th birthday. We had such a fun time hanging out with all of our Chicago friends and the look on Matt's face when he saw us was priceless. We enjoyed a nice weekend with Chris's parents and grandparents as well. It's always nice to spend some fun, quality time with family and friends..we hope to see you again soon!

Halloween

My two busy little bees

Chris, Lane and Colin

Lane's cousins: Colin as Buzz Lightyear, Addie the indian princess and Caleb the froggie..too cute!

Lane loved walking up and down the sidewalk but wanted little to do with actually going up to people's doors. After a few temper tantrums from making her try to trick or treat, we called it a night.

Ryan got in on the Halloween fun too!

This is what I emptied out of Lane's pumpkin...leaf and all. And as a side note, the 3 candy bars were from one home. Maybe next year she'll take home more than a handful!

The Flu

I apologize for the lack of posts lately but our family has been bitten by the flu bug. Lane got it first Halloween night and unfortunately spread it to her cousins and then Chris and I. During this whole process I have learned two interesting and gross things. One, my daughter does not thoroughly chew her food and two, the backseat of the car and car seat have a MILLION nooks and crannies which make cleaning up vomit quite a challenge. And the kicker on the last one..we were 5 minutes from home!
I plan to post a few picture of Halloween when I have more time and more energy! Hope everyone else is feeling okay!
