Ah vacation...

It's almost vacation time for me! John and I are going back to Chicago this Saturday and staying through the week until the following Sunday. John's already been off all this week too because our daycare lady is on vacation, but due to his funky 3 day workweek, he's going to actually be off for 18 days straight! We are looking forward to being in Chicago, visiting with everyone and showing off the munchkin, but it feels like we are going to be super busy rushing from one place to the next. The main reason for our trip is that Chris, my friend from high school, is getting married. I am excited to see everyone; since several of us live out of town, it will be the first time I have seen some people in several years! It will be like a little mini-reunion, so I thank Chris and Marilyn for being so kind to get married for all of us this summer and bringing us all together. I am sure that it's going to be so much fun! I can't wait to see everyone!

I think that John is most excited to take Cole to his 1st game at Wrigley Field next Wednesday. I'm not sure how the wiggle monster will make it through the game, but we are hoping for the best. We probably are most concerned about the plane ride. When we went back in December, Cole was only 8 weeks old, so he was still sleeping a lot. Now, he wants to look at everyone and touch everything, so we are hoping for the best. Wish us luck!
