We just got back from our Chicago trip. It was great. We visited Jason's cousin Eileen and her husband Dave and kids Ryan and Rachel. There was plenty of snow and Ashlyn LOVED it this year. We couldn't keep her out of it. She enjoyed playing with her cousins and sledding. Seth wasn't to fond of the cold weather. He much rather kick off his shoes and socks and stay inside.

We visited the Hancock Observatory, the Shedd Aquarium and the Museum of Science and Industry. I would recommend all of these places to anyone visiting Chicago. The MOSI was unbelievable. You could spend days there. The view from the Hancock was breath taking and the aquarium was quite nice too. Of course we had to go shopping. IKEA was on the top of the list. We found loads of goodies there. I desparately wish they would build one here. We also hit H&M and Kohl's. Did some damage there as well.

Ashlyn loved spending time with her cousins. For some reason she seems to warm up to men and boys quite easily. She loved playing with Ryan and couldn't stop flirting with Dave. Dave would be working on his laptop at the table and Ashlyn would be teasing, "Daaaaaavid, Daaaavid", until he would look at her. She's going to be quite a handful when she's older.

Okay, my little man is up from his morning nap. Will drop some more lines later.
