My birthday

I had a great birthday this year with my sweet girl...

And my goofy boy...

Matt made me a fabulous gluten free cake with chocolate frosting! And Will helped put on the candles and did an awesome job getting them all in a line...

A trip to Michigan!

We had so much fun in Saugatuck, Michigan last year that we decided to go again this year for my birthday! We stayed in a different place - we rented a little cottage near the downtown area so we could walk there and really enjoyed it! It was FREEZING this year (the first weekend in October!) and rainy, but we made the most of it! We went back to the apple orchards and Will and Matt rode a cow train! We also went to a pumpkin patch and Will picked out our pumpkin! We have loved these short little getaways to the coast of Michigan and will miss them when we move!

Liza is 5 months!

I love you sweet baby girl!

Lincoln Park Zoo and a Northwestern game!

In September my mom came to visit and we took Will and Liza to the Lincoln Park zoo!

And Matt took Will to a Northwestern football game! We live really close to the stadium so they walked there with some friends from church. Will was so excited - especially to get a hotdog and popcorn:)
