Fun in Chicago

We had a good time in Chicago and wish we could have stayed longer-who knows, maybe I'll do the Chicago Danskin Triathlon in a year or two just so we can go back! We went to the Field Museum and had a lot of fun at Navy Pier.

Here are some pics of Ethan playing at a park we found somewhere in Illinois-note- if you are ever presented with the opportunity to try a "Butter Burger"-skip it! Take your custard and candy mixture and run.

Sara's Wedding

My sister Jessica and I were bridesmaids in our college suitemate Sara McGranahan's wedding today. It was so awesome to see Sara-I haven't seen her since she was a bridesmaid in my wedding 8 years ago! She wanted Ethan to be a ringbearer-I warned her he was only 2, so there were no guarentees he would behave! He did a great job though, and was so cute in his tuxedo! I don't think I relaxed until his part was over! Jessie and I had a lot of fun on the Boom-Boom Bus-we were driven around for about 3 hours for pictures in a couple of different locations. Things I learned in Iowa: 1. They grow more corn than anywhere in the universe. 2. I learned what a "beerslide" is. 3. He's a jager...she's a jager...wouldn't you like to be a jager too? Umm, no, Lovedogs, no.

Up to no good....

Ethan bent the plastic child locks out of shape that I had been using to keep his bottom 2 dresser drawers shut. Then he climbed up on top of his dresser, pulled opened his top drawer, and climbed inside. All this during his supposed "nap."
