Weekend Travels!

We headed out to visit Kevin's side of the family over the weekend....probably our last big trip until after Baby comes!

We stayed overnight at Mimi and Pop-pops.  They treated us to lunch on our way out, which was very exciting for everyone :)  We had so much fun, I didn't take any pictures!


We arrived at Kevin's parents and relaxed in the evening....after seeing the trains, of course :)  






We had Big Plans for Saturday, which involved taking the train downtown to the Franklin Institute.  We had wonderful weather for strolling and it wasn't overly crowded inside for a Saturday.  







We were in need of a hearty lunch by the time we were done....so we went to Chinatown!  Uncle Mark and Aunt JungMin knew just where to take us.  Chloe was determined to use her chop-sticks to eat this wonton.  She did! :)

We also stopped for smoothies in Chinatown - these two shared a strawberry one.


This picture shows just how lucky I was -- Aunt JungMin holding Chloe's hand and Kevin giving April a shoulder ride meant that I just had to get myself and my purse to the train station.  It was a lot of walking for this 32-week pregnant lady! :)  I managed to stay relativity close to my group....good thing it wasn't raining!


I think we used 4 public restrooms during our visit to the city, which meant baths, for sure, even if it was past bedtime!  Here is April hanging with Uncle Mark after she was nice and clean!




Last minute piano playing wrapped up our visit.  This was a beautiful rendition of Chop-Sticks :)


We had a great visit!  Looking forward to seeing you again!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
