this is the mrs here. in january, i was able to go to chicago to visit the family out there. this time it was special...because it was a surprise! i planned the whole thing with the hubby so as to surprise my sweet sister-in-law. she really had NO idea what was going on. i showed up to there house with her thinking it was going to be her friend beth. they were going to go to dinner and voila, i show up ready to watch the girls so they can spend the night away kid-free. her husband planned the whole thing down to the minutes so she wouldn't have a clue. i had fun on this little mini-vacation. we hung out, i cuddled my adorable nieces, we spent a day at the museum of science and industry, went to a hot dog restaurant that took a 40 minute wait to get inside(totally worth it for gourmet dogs, alligator meat anyone?) and it was perfect. i also rode in my first taxi ride(i pretended to be a pro at it so he wouldn't kidnap me, or charge me more) and had an afternoon with the SIL just shopping down michigan avenue.
this little one reminded me(on our first feeding attempt) that she has arms, and maybe i shouldn't put the bowl of baby food in her reach.
on sunday, we went to church which is currently being held at an elementary school. this is in the auditorium on an arm rest...enscribed is justin bieber. oh those little girls.
we made bread for sunday dinner.
the little e helped me do everything on this trip. she always wanted to do our makeup together, do our hair together, wear my shoes and boots, and show me how to take care of her little sister.
