Brrrrr it's still cold in Chicago in March

We found out we were expecting baby #2 only a few days prior to leaving for Florida to surprise Papa for his birthday, so we hadn't really had a lot of time to digest our BIG news.  After getting home and letting the thought soak in that we will soon be a family of four we got right back into our normal routine.  Avery had her usual play dates with Emma every week, Gymboree class, Swim class in her new level 2 class and her usual silliness with Rachel on a daily basis. 



Rachel and Avery made a bear den out of the couch

We also have a new friend that is finally home for us to play with more often - Madison Campbell.  Allyson and Madison came downtown to see the house and have a playdate.  Madison turned 2 in February so we gave her, her birthday present and the girls had a great time playing eating lunch and goofing off in the basement.

hugs!

Every weekend we try to keep some consistency to our activities but also throw in some new for Peanut.  The standard is Swim, Gymboree and then we rotate a Target run or Petsmart - One of Avery's favorite places to play and see all the animals.  We've also made a big effort to have family dinners together on the weekends, instead of eating after she goes to bed.
