Our weekend...part 2

Sunday was beautiful and we took Will to the park. He had a GREAT time playing, which you can tell from his face in most of these pictures...

Our weekend...part 1

Matt flew to St. Simons for the weekend for his dad's 60th birthday party (happy birthday Mr. Dart)! It was too far for Will to travel for such a quick trip so my mom, sister, and Aunt Faye came to visit me! We had SUCH a good time, and I took so many pictures that I'm breaking it into two posts.

They got here Thursday night and on Friday we showed Aunt Faye around Evanston. Friday night we had to let Aunt Faye experience Chicago deep dish pizza!

My cousin Chrissy and her husband Mike flew into Chicago Saturday morning for his sister's graduation so we met them for breakfast downtown! It was so good to see them and we had fun taking pictures outside afterwards...

I'll post more of the weekend later:)

Mother's Day weekend

Matt surprised me this weekend by taking me to Kohler, Wisconsin to the American Club for Mother's Day! We had such a great time there last fall so I was so excited to go back!

We drove up there Saturday and had dinner at Whistling Straights golf course, where the PGA Championship will be played in a few months! It is beautiful, and right on a cliff overlooking Lake Michigan. I got a few pictures of my handsome fellas before dinner...

We got a table by the window and this was our view! The sun was setting and the sky was stormy and just beautiful!

My sweet hubby

Matt's lamb dinner

Sunday we woke up and ordered room service for breakfast...I got the belgium waffle with raspberry and creme fraiche and white chocolate! Oh my word, it was soo good!

After breakfast we explored The American Club's gardens...

It was a perfect first Mother's Day!

Eating flowers, having fun, and other exciting news...

I know I have been slack on blogging...so what have we been up to? Well we have some exciting news - we are moving! To a real home...with a backyard! We are currently in a condo so we are thrilled to have more room and a yard for Will and our dogs!

We'll still be in Evanston. We've really grown to love Evanston while Matt has been in school here. I love that it feels like a small town (I really am a "country mouse" at heart), but is so close to the city. I love the tree-lined streets, the parks along the lake, the "downtown" area, and the fact that you can walk just about anywhere. Matt's job will be in downtown Chicago, but Chicago has excellent public transportation (I don't know any 2 car families here) and Matt will be able to walk to the train and then take a 25 minute ride in to work.

We've been enjoying the warm weather with Will...here are a few pictures we took outside yesterday.

Our little explorer

Now that Will can crawl, he's been busy exploring this week...

His favorite thing is to head straight for the dog's water dish...

His other favorite thing to do is to look at his reflection...

(thankfully our landlords had already baby-proofed the fireplace)

He has discovered that shoes make GREAT toys...

And dogs make great friends...

He sure is having fun!

Crawling!

Will went to his 9 month dr. appointment this week and we were surprised to find out that he didn't need shots this time! He weighs 20 lbs 5 oz, which is the 52nd percentile for his age.

Two big developments with him this week: his two top teeth have broken through, and he crawled for the first time tonight! I don't think I am ready for this!

Here are a few pictures of him yesterday and a video I took of him crawling tonight!
