Playing Catch-up

Where did November go?

Aaaah!! I must have blinked. It has come and gone! Cool things happened in that fleeting month!

Let's do some catching up.

We will start with Chicago! We went on a long weekend for a friend's wedding. He is the guy who set tom and me up back in the day.

Here are some pictures of our adventure...

On the plane with a 15 month old...


Overall, Corbin did great. Two flights each way. Slept some on both. He loved to run the aisle which was a bit difficult for us. The passengers loved him. Thank goodness!


Chicago has some amazing public art installations. Corbin enjoyed these guys kicking around soccer balls more than the video art behind them.


But he did love The Bean. But of course what toddler wouldn't love art that featured him?
Also, at the park he loved chasing the pigeons. They are so used to people that he could get SO close! Tourists were filming him with his adorable curls laughing as he ran. I was flattered and a bit creeped out. One woman even posed with him as her husband took their picture! I should have charged her a dollar!!


Getting in to trouble at the wedding reception. But again people loved him so no one seemed to care.


And then he wore himself out. He is asleep on the black couch looking out from the 43rd floor. Such an amazing view!


Deep dish pizza!



At the aquarium. The weather was surprisingly warm on our wandering days. Over 60! In Chicago in November! Nice.



Biscuits and gravy were a hit!



Not sure if you can tell, but that is a remote in Tom's hand. Ummm...did I mention that Corbin has learned the joy of throwing things in the toilet? Ummm...that might be a connected story.


Sharing ice cream with dad.


Running down the halls at the hotel. Beautiful old hotel. Great deal on Hotwire.


What is better than 2 pacifiers? Three!!


And finally, our journey home. We had a great time exploring and just enjoying time together. I also truly realized what a small town we live in!
