Aaron is 2

Boy it's been awhile since I've done a post and my friend Elizabeth commented on my lack of postings so I will try and do better!

On July 11th we had a family birthday party for Aaron. He loved everything that had to do with being the birthday boy (especially the cake). I made him a car cake that he took more than his fare share of frusting. He kepts going around the house saying "Happy Birthday to Me!"
We just got back from Chicago and a nice weeklong family vacation. The weather was perfect and we did plenty of walking and site seeing. Our hotel was located in Grant Park so we could walk easily to the museums and was about 1 1/2 miles to Navy Pier. We visited Lincoln Park Zoo, walked to Navy Pier (Aaron loved watching the sail boats), ate at Uno's (Jeremy had been craving it for some time) and on Wednesday we celebrated Aaron turning 2. We took him to Shedd's Aquarium and to Rain Forest Cafe for dinner! He loved watching the elephant and we sat next to a fish tank. He got all excited when they brought him out cake and demanded to have his birthday hat on for the occasion! When we got back to the hotel Jeremy and I braved the ice cold water of the hotel pool and took turns swimming with Aaron. He was on cloud 9. It's hard to believe that last year he was just learning to walk and now he doesn't stop!

Sammie did great on the whole trip. She loved watching the people and was entertained by her brothers antics. She is now rolling and just cut her first tooth.

It was a nice little getaway!
