Back to Work In Chicago

I forgot to post this picture yesterday of Marin and Piper and ALL their cousins. Marin just squeals with delight when she gets to spend time with her cousins. They are all a very important part of her life.

I went back to work the last week in July and my first couple of days of work were in Chicago. I told Ed that I was not going without him and the girls. So Ed's mom came with us and they had a blast while I worked! Marin and Piper in the Pack N Play.

There was no time for naps in the hotel so poor Piper just feel asleep in the carrier. Her arms and feet bounced up and down as Ed walked. If only we all could just fall aleep anywhere.

A ferris wheel ride at Navy Pier.

Marin made Teddy the Bear at Build A Bear on the trip. She is pink and had to have Superman pajamas, a princess dress, and shorts and a T-shirt. She kept on refering to the bear as he, but insisted that Teddy was a girl. They also went to the Shedd Aquarium, we all ate at the Rain Forest Cafe. The pretend animals and thunder storms scared Marin to the point that we had to leave in the middle of dinner. I am hoping the next summer we can go on a real vacation where I don't have to work. Marin had a blast and took in all the new experieces and was very excited to tell me about all of her adventures when I returned to the hotel room
