Sweet Home Chicago!

This weekend we got the chance to spend the night in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Chicago! Joey and Ava had lots of fun. Mommy and daddy were happy to sleep on a bed that was actually comfortable!







Getting ready for the pool...
Joey driving "Thomas the Tank Engine" at Navy Pier
Mommy snuck Ava some pancake at breakfast
Me and my prince by Lake Michigan
My Prince again... (Jason not Howie Mandel) in front of NBC Studios

Lions and Tigers and Cubbies...Oh My!

Joey receiving his vest Proud New Cubbie!
Playing "Head, shoulders, knees and toes"
Ava wanting some Ramen Noodles :)

Tonight at Awana Cubbies, Joey earned his official Cubbies vest and his Hopper Handbook. He was able to recite the Cubbies Motto "Jesus Loves Me" and his first three verses (God loved us and sent his son, All have sinned and While we were sinners Christ died for us). He was very proud. It was also parent's night so Jason, Ava and I all got to stay with him. We are so proud of him and could not think of a better way to spend our anniversary.

Too cute for words!

Brotherly Love

Ava is now officially crawling...armycrawling that is. She is on the move. She has 2 beautiful teeth too. Joey has been a big help with her as well. He now spoon feeds his little sister. He still does not like sharing the spotlight with Ava but he is warming up!

Here is a picture of them right after Joey got done feeding her. Not bad for a 3 year old!
