Boys/Girls Weekend

I was so blessed to be able to take a trip to Chicago with three dear friends this last weekend. While I was away, Asher ATE UP Daddy time! I know Asher loves me, but I seriously cannot even compete with Daddy. The tv, video games, wrestling, and pizza were on constant rotation in the home, and both boys were quite content with their hang out schedule :).
I just have to give Jeremy props, because he rocked another huge milestone for us. All major milestones in this house happen because of Jeremy. Asher no longer sleeps with diapers at night! He really should have been done with them long ago, but I’m too big of a weenie to try. Jeremy just tries things. What a concept, ha! Anyways, it’s totally note worthy that the big boy is done with diapers!
I had to put up a few pics of Chicago, what a great city to visit! So many things to do, so much food to eat, and lots of fun fashion to look at.
We took a boat tour and got absolutely poured on! We at least had a roof to hide under on the boat, but when we docked and we had to schlep across the pier to the mall it was all over. We were cold and wet, but we were making memories and loving it!
This picture is an absolute crack up! Poor Erin barely made the cut, and some random lady who was blinded by the flash is forever in our fondue portrait. Clearly I couldn’t crop her out.
Krista and I marveled at The Bean for quite some time. Why do I have the worst luck in asking people to take pictures?! The nice man even threw in, “I’m a photographer!” Sigh…the background behind us looks nice though :).
This picture also cracks me up! Don’t you just love how creative Krista and I are with our feet up! “Um…let’s do what she’s doing!” L.O.L!
It was such a great weekend, and clearly what we’ve all learned is that I can go on girl trips more often :). Just kidding, honey!
