What we've been up to....

I apologize for the lack of blog posts over the last few weeks. I have Christmas photos to share (and Christmas stories), but now we're in Chicago. We went to Eville for the holidays and on the way back to Bville took a slight detour to the Chicago area to visit our good friends, Dave and Amy Coffman Phillips. Amy and I have been good friends for 18 years. They used to live a wee bit closer to us in NYC, but moved to the Chicago area almost a year ago (I'm insanely jealous!).

We've been gone for almost 2 weeks, and we're enjoying every moment of our time together. I'm going to be paying for my overeating and overspending for months to come...but we're building memories :).

We're spending 3 and a half days in Chicago and have taken the boys to 3 museums: the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and Museum of Science and Industry. Tomorrow, the boys want to ride around on the trains....with no particular place to go.

We've had a great time catching up w/ our friends and getting to know their 2 little ones better. And, Amy and Dave are getting an opportunity to experience a little bit of what life is like with 3 boys (LOUD!).
