Our Chicago Trip

Mike and I took off for a few days without the girls and headed to Chicago. The first night we stayed in the suburbs at a suite that had our own swimming pool and hot tub in the room. It was so nice and we had a great time. Thanks to my in-laws and my Mom for helping out while we were gone. We couldn't have done it without you!!

On Thursday we headed downtown and spent the day that Museum of Science and Industry. I had never been before and it had been quite a few years since Mike had been.

On Friday we had planned to spend the day in the city but the weather was cold and rainy so we hopped in the car and headed to Aurora so that Mike could meet Jenna. We had lunch and went to Janel's for a little while.

Jenna fell asleep sucking her fingers. Chad sucked the same two fingers when he was little. :-)

Aunt Kara is funny!

Sweet baby Jenna!! She had learned to roll over.

Mike and his new niece, she'll be so big when he gets home.
